This 3D text effect will let the letters of
each of your messages fall. After the message is formed, then
the message fades away and another message begins.
Fonts
Here you can specify the text alignment (left, right or centered
text), the text size (in pixels) and the font. We recommend
using centered text for this particular messenger. This applet
supports FFT files.
Entering messages and URLs
Make sure you have the same number of URLs as you have messages.
Enter each message in it's own line. See the section Entering
Text Or Files for more information.
Movement settings and Letter delay
The animation speed will increase the speed of each letter's
movement. Don't let it be too large, values about 2-4 are
good. The letter delay is a setting that should be between
10-30. This is the delay between each falling letter. Adjusting
this parameter will give you varied results.
Message pause
This is the pause between each message.
Background image and background color
The background image will be used instead of the background
color. Leave this field blank if you want to use the background
color setting instead. Use the compression setting to decrease
the SWF file size. The background color will affect the shadowing
of each letter when they are turned away from you. We recommend
setting this color to a color similar to the background image.
If you do not have a background image, then the effect will
still work fine.
Limitations
Due to a bug in the Flash player, you can only have a maximum
line size of 100 characters, that means you can display a
text line with 100 letters at the most.
Other settings
There are other settings that are discussed on the following

Version history
1.1 : Added support for the ActionScript LoadMovie() command,
which means that the effect can now be inserted into Macromedia
Flash FLA projects. You can now load other .swf files or disable
the links by entering empty links.
