When a developer feels playful, then strange applets may come into existence. This is one of those applets. 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 and use the cut color to set the color of the "cutting line" which later expands and displaces the background image 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 settings The speed will set the movement speed of the text. The Rotation setting will set the speed of the oscillating text and radius is the maximum angle of the oscillating movement. 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 topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation: The Flash Applet Size Parameters Working With Text Fields Entering Text Or Files Working with fonts Working With File Fields And File Lists Working With Color Buttons Compression Ratios for images
