| The second incarnation of this famous Flash applet let's you scroll through a number of images. But this version is different since the images scroll at a distance and they will stop at the center so that the image zooms in.
The
Background color
The background color will affect the side fading effect. Make
sure you have the same background color as your homepage color.
This achieves the best effect
Selecting Images and URLs
Make sure you have the same number of Images as you have URLs,
when specifying images. Don't use images that are too big.
Note that these images will be included into the SWF file,
and it may swell to enormous proportions. Try modifying the
compression setting to decrease the SWF file size. If you
don't want to use an URL for an image, then leave that line
empty.
Hand cursor
The hand cursor will be displayed for images containing links
(without blank URL's) if you enable it. For the other images,
the normal system arrow will be used.
Dead Center
This value, in pixels, will set an area in the middle of the
screen in which the images will not move in response to the
mouse movements. It also determines where the image will begin
to zoom in. Once the center of an image coincides with a point
within the bounds of the dead center, it will zoom in. A small
value is recommended, but don’t make it too small as
the center of the image may not fall within it.
Initial and Mouse Scroller speed
By having a large number here, the scroller will increase
the speed of the initial animation. It should be set to values
between 0-300. Put 0 if you don't want to let the images move
until the user navigates on the applet. The mouse scroller
speed is for the navigation speed, values between 1-300 are
recommended.
Disable Mouse
This enables or disables mouse scrolling. If this option is
off, the user will be able to scroll through the images, and
control the speed and direction of the scrolling. If this
is on, the images will scroll at constant speed from right
to left, if the mode is horizontal; from bottom to top, if
the mode is vertical. Also, if this is on, zooming is automatically
enabled.
Enable Zoom
This
defines the zooming behavior if mouse scrolling is enabled.
If this option is on, mouse scrolling may be interrupted as
an image zooms in/out. If it is off, the images will not zoom
in when the user is scrolling. They will only zoom in/out
when the mouse pointer is outside the boundaries of the applet.
Note that boundaries are detected only when the applet is
loaded from a larger one.
Zoom Time
This
is the amount of time it takes for an image to zoom in or
zoom out. A value of 0 will not produce any zooming effect.
Zoom
Delay
This is the amount of time the image is displayed after zooming
in and before zooming out of an image. Put 0 if you want the
zoom in and zoom out effects to be continuous.
Picture Percentage
This is the percentage of the applet that is occupied by the
scrolling images. It defines the height of the images if the
scrolling mode is horizontal and the width of the images if
the mode is vertical. By default, the images occupy 50 percent
of the applet. If you input a negative value, it will be converted
to positive value. If you input anything greater than 100
percent, the default value will be used.
Vertical or Horizontal mode
The scroller supports movement of images vertically or horizontally.
Side fading settings
The side fade width will set the width of the side fade effect,
this must be larger than 10. You can disable this by unchecking
the "use side fading" checkbox.
Highlighting Images
If the highlight feature is checked, then the image that is
selected will be highlighted.
Limitations
Due to a limitation in Flash Player 5.0, you are limited to
a maximum of 200 images in the Flash applet. More than that,
and the applet will not work.
Other settings
There are other settings that are discussed on the following
