In this case, the "complete actions" are events with a clear end, ie. they don't continue indefinitely nor are they already in progress at a specific future point (which is the other use of future continuous).

I, too, am curious as to the answer. The phrase complete actions doesn't seem congruent here. This is the continuous aspect of English. So I'm really not sure what the book is trying to say here.
