- The transparent image spider2.gif is a courtesy of Lone Star Posse Prod. Inc.
-
- Thanks to Ibon Tolosana for progressive fading.
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- Apart from image files to fade, and an optional overlay image, the
- following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded:
-
- AnFade.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, AnFade.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
- 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 credits 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 natural size,
- "res=2" shows it at double size, etc.
-
- It is important to update the width and height tags, otherwise the applet will
- not display properly on browsers.
-
- The number of images to have in the crossfading slideshow is unlimited, but
- the minimum is 2.
-
- If you want to fade between just 2 images, type:
-
- <param name=image1 value="imfad1.gif">
- <param name=image2 value="imfad2.gif">
-
- If you want to fade between 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.
-
- You can change the displayed 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 will be 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. This value
- determines the number of frame as 256/speed. A good value is 8, which gives
- you 32 frames. This has shown to be the optimum resolution for 65000 colour
- displays, and shows quite fast. Values under 8 are applicable for a 24bit
- video mode (16 million colors), but show the images slower.
-
- The pause, in milliseconds, determines the "hold" time for images between
- the fades.
-
- You can optionally enable the "progressivefade" option, setting it to "YES".
- This will fade the image pixels not at same time, but with some nice steps.
