Setting the active action

[myro]

Hello,
I just wanted to ask how I set a different action as active?
I am using the ogre 3d sinbad model and want to export it with every action to
collada for a simple game prototype. (I have never done anything related to animations with blender before.)

Basically, if I select another action in the action editor, in the 3D view the first action is still played. I would like to play other actions in the 3D view as well. (also the importer of the 3d engine i am using is only showing the first action as animation, other animations were not exported or imported).

Any advice?

PS.: If this board is not for beginners, please move my post.
