| ShadeMessage is a freeware applet
which will let your messages puff like cornflakes.
Colors and background image
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. If you do not have a background image,
then the effect will still work just fine. Use the shade color
to set the shade of the text "puffs".
Entering messages and URLs
Make sure you have the same amount of URLs as you have messages.
Enter each message in it's own line. See the section Entering
Text Or Files for more information.
Fonts
Here you can here specify the text size (in pixels) and the
font. This applet supports FFT files.
Movement, number and Start and End points of shades
The start and end points of the shades will be used to disperse
the puffing shades. The Speed setting will set the speed of
the shades and the Shades setting set the number of shades
per character. Maximum 5 shades per character are recommended.
Movement settings
The animation speed will increase the speed of each letter's
appearance. Don't let it be too large, values about 2-4 are
good.
Message pause
This is the pause before a new message appear (in 83 ms units).
Limitations
Due to a limitation in Flash Player 5.0, you can have a maximum
of only 200 messages 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
