A fantastic 3D text messenger where your messages will tumble towards you. After a brief pause, the message will tumble away. This example is using the Robot Teacher font from Tom Murphy, but you can set any font you want.

Fonts

Here you can specify the the text size (in pixels) and the font. This applet supports FFT files.

Entering messages and URLs

Make sure you have the same number of URLs as you have book pages. Each book page will be one message.

Movement settings

The animation speed will increase the speed of the text movement. Don't let it be too large, values about 2-3 are good. If you want to let the message tumble (rotate) more, then adjust the Number of Rotations parameter.

Message pause

This is the pause between each message.

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.

Other settings

There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation:

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.
