The scrolling images ticker displays a line of images, with optional sprocket-holes to give a cine-film effect. The line of images then scrolls horizontally, allowing many more images to be included than will fit on the screen at one time. Each image can have a caption, and can be a hotlink to another URL.
The applet class ScrollingImages supports the following applet parameters:
| param | purpose |
|---|---|
| interval | time delay between frames, in ms (default: "250") |
| stepsize | number of pixels scrolled each frame (default: "4")
(negative values give right-to-left scrolling) |
| images | total number of images to include in the strip |
| sprockets | 0=none, 1=film sprockets |
| In the following parameter names, N can be any number from 1 to the total number of images in the strip | |
| srcN | URL (absolute, or relative to the page) of the image of the image file to use for the N'th image (default: no image) |
| captionN | caption text for the N'th image (default: no caption) |
| hrefN | URL hot-link for the N'th image (default: not a link) |
