The RocknRoll Message applet is an attractive messenger that scrolls through your text and provides a hyperlink to the location of your choice. 

Color

Choose your color for the text and the background.

Messages

In the enter messages text box you write the text for your message. Each line of text represents a single scrollable part of your message. The messenger will scroll through each line of text and then start again from the beginning.
In the enter links text box you place any hyperlinks. Each hyperlink will be matched to its line of text in the enter messages text box opposite. When that line of text is scrolled in the messenger, a user will be able to click on the messenger window and open the hyperlink. Leave a line empty to prevent anything from happening when the user clicks on that line of text in the message.

Animation Speed
The animation speed determines how long each line of text is displayed in the messenger.

X and Y Scale
The X and Y scale determine how larger or smaller the text in the message will be displayed as a percentage of the original text size. The original text size is set to automatically fit the size of the applet.

Transparency
Transparency will determine how much the text is faded to allow for the background image to show through.

Target Frame
For information on using the target frame. See URL Links and Frame Targets

Compression Ratio
Determines the compression ratio for a background image. See Compression Ratios for images for more info.
