- when mouse cursor moves over the applet area. It also provides a on_click
- function to open a given URL address. In additional, it allows you display a
- message in the status bar when mouse cursor move over the applet.
- animator is an AdWare at this time.

- BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS (for experienced people only):
- ==================
-
- 0). Unzip animator.zip in your local machine (you had done this step).
-
-
- 1). Rename class files. Because PKUNZIP will extract the
- class file, animator.class, to ANIMAT~1.CLA, you have to RENAME
- the class file to animator.class. Similarly, rename LOAD~1.CLA
- to load.class. NOTE: They are case sensitive and name of
- the second class is load.class instead of loadimage.class
- nor loading.class).
-
- 2). Open TEST_ANI.HTM with your browser locally. If it works locally,
- go to next step. Otherwise, go to Mark's home page for detail
- instructions.
-
- 3). Try TEST_ANI.HTM online(Ignore this step if you think that you
- REALLY know what to do).
-
- - place animator.class and load.class in the place you want in your server.
- (FTP program may change animator.class to animator.cla. Rename class files
- if needed).
- - place TEST_ANI.HTM, MAIL*.GIF, and EMAIL.AU to the same directory
- - change access attributes of all the files above to readable(744)
- - Browse TEST_ANI.HTM from your local machine
-
- If it works, go to next step. Otherwise Go to Mark's page for instructions.
-
-
- 4).Use your own stuff
-
- - add following HTML statements into your HTML's body
-
- <applet code="animator.class" width=103 height=50>
- <param name=speed value="9">
- <param name=RegistrationCode value="f2.0-5784957">
- <param name=imgname value="MAIL">
- <param name=nimgs value="13">
- <param name=audiofile value="EMAIL.AU">
- <param name=status_text value="">
- <param name=on_click value="http://www.aimnet.com/~markqian/mark.html">
- </applet>
-
-
-
- - replace parametes such as "on_click", "imgname", "audiofile" with your stuff.
-
-
- 5). If it works, enjoy it!! (If you like to do its hard-working author a favor, Drop him an
- Email to let Mark know It runs OK). Otherwise, go to Mark's page for detail instructions
- of troubleshooting.
