Difference between ために and ように?

I've got a question regarding difference in usage of 辞書形+ように and 辞書形+ために with verbs' dictionary forms, i.e. - 飛行機に乗り遅れないように、前日早寝したのです。 - 彼は質問をするために手を上げました。 The notion I get is that the first is used with non-action verbs, while the latter form is used with action verbs. Am I correct?
