Put transparent moving text with looking glass effect over your picture. The Background color The background color will be used as the background for the effect if no background image supplied. Otherwise background color will be used as the background only during preloading of applet. The Text Two colors provided for text - one is for text itself and another for its shade. Width of shade determined by corresponding parameter. Please use Distortion Grade parameter to determine how selected colors will be applied to image under the text. With value around zero solid color will be displayed with no or just noticable image under the text. With values around 100 text will be transparent and image under it will be transformed to selected color. Looking Glass Distortion Try to avoid fuzzy images as with em effect will not be seen really clear. Specify Distortion From/To values to determine how much bigger will be image fragment under the text. Both this values are in pixels, so if you have image 160x120 pixels and specify from 10 to 20 pixels distortion, then under the text will be displayed image from 180x140 to 200x160 pixels, of course repositioned to fit original image. Speed values With X and Y speed settings you can define movement speed of the text in px per frame. If Outer Bounds checked, text will bounce only when it will be completely out of applet bounds, otherwise it will bounce if any piece of text object crossed applet bounds. Other settings There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation: The Flash Applet Size Parameters Entering Text Or Files Working With Text Fields URL Links and Frame Targets Working With File Fields And File Lists Working With Time Delays and Pauses Working With Color Buttons Compression Ratios for images Aleksey Udovydchenko
