Use this slide show to showcase your products with a brief description text appearing in a flashy manner. Why not show your employees and a specification of their skills? You can also let the text appear more soberly without any movement at all.

The colors and background image

YYou can set the text color and background color. If you use a background image then it will overwrite the background color. The background image is automatically resized to fit the applet window.

Fonts

You can here specify the text alignment (left, right or centered text), the text size (in pixels) and the font. This applet supports FFT files.

Entering messages and Images

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

Image transparency

You can set the image transparency and thus let the fully appeared image be a bit transparent.

Durations and delays

The message pause is how long the image and text should be still in the screen. While the animation speed controls the speed of the appearing text and image.

Text displacement

Use this to push the text inwards a bit if you don't want it to appear too close to the applet area edge. This cannot be done with the image.

Text direction

With this selection you can let the text appear from all directions or let it appear randomly. You can also let it be static and just fade in together with the image, if you want a more sober look.

Next Clip

When the animation has looped once, you can let it load another movie clip into it's place. This is useful if you have a large number of images but want to divide them in several applets that you "chain together".

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.
