- BookFlip - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998/99
-
-
- This applet can execute a "book flip" transition between any identically
- sized GIF or JPG images.
-
- It is based on original code by Dolf Van Der Schaar, which is used under
- license.
-
- ************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- Apart from bookflip images, and an optional overlay image, the following
- 3 ".class" files must be uploaded:
-
- bookflip.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, bookflip.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- *********************************************************************
-

- PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS.
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- The images (GIF and/or JPG) can be of any size, but all image dimensions must
- be identical.
-
- Attempting to change the credit parameter will disable the applet.
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you
- purchased from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is "clicked".
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be displayed as animated
- only on latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- Applet size is determined by "res": "res=1" shows the graphic at original
- size, "res=2" shows it at double size, etc.
-
- The "width" tag must be equal to images width.
- The "height" tag must be equal to images height + extrah parameter.
- The extrah gives an extra space above and below the image area.
-
- For example, if images are 100 pixels in height, and you place a value of
- 50 for extrah, the applet "height" must be 150.
-
- It is important to update the width and height tags, otherwise the applet
- will not display properly on browsers.
-
- The number of images for the crossfading slideshow is unlimited, but
- the minimum is 2.
-
- If you want to fade among just 2 images, type:
-
- <param name=image1 value="imfad1.gif">
- <param name=image2 value="imfad2.gif">
-
- If you want to fade among 3 images, type:
-
- <param name=image1 value="imfad1.gif">
- <param name=image2 value="imfad2.gif">
- <param name=image3 value="imfad3.gif">
-
- Repeat the code for each image.
-
- On each image, you can choose the kind of transition, using flip1, flip2,
- flip3, ... etc parameters.
-
- There are 8 transtition effects, each of which corresponds to a value
- between 0 and 7:
-
- 0: IN -> up-right
- 1: IN -> down-right
- 2: IN -> down-left
- 3: IN -> up-left
- 4: OUT -> down-left
- 5: OUT -> up-left
- 6: OUT -> up-right
- 7: OUT -> down-right
-
- With "flipcurve" parameter, you can control how big the flipping curve is.
-
- Placing in the "shading" parameter a value higher than 0, you will enable
- an extra shading effect. This will slow down the applet in most cases.
-
- You can set a message for each image in the "statusmsg" code. "Statusmsg1"
- is the message displayed with the first image, "statusmsg2" the second
- image, etc.
-
- When you purchase and register the applet, the "link1","link2", etc.
- parameters are enabled and this applet can become a crossfade banner as
- follows:
-
- <param name=link1 value="http://(name of link">
- <param name=link2 value="http://(name of link">
- You can place a URL link related to each image.
-
- The speed parameter determines the speed of fade between images. You need
- to specify the number of frames. A good value is 8, but not determined.
-
- The "pause" parameter, in milliseconds, determines the "hold" time for
- images between the fades.
-
- If "extrah" is greater than 0, remember to set the background colour at the
- same as the html page colour.
-
- With "backr", "backg" and "backb" parameters, you can control the RED, GREEN
- and BLUE components of the background colour.
