TALK
(version F1.1)
--------------- Written by Mark Qian ---------------
If TALK works fine, you should hear a background sound
(a piece of Chinese Music) and some foreground sounds played in
a random order.
Description:
Talk is a JAVA appelt written by Mark Qian. It is invisible.
It plays user-specified sounds(au files) in different styles.
You can play a primary(background) sound once or repeatly.
At thesame time, you can also play a series of secondary sounds
(foreground) once or repeatly.
You can even mix the primary sound with the secondary sounds
in a variety of styles. talk is an AdWare at this time.
Parameters:
RegistrationCode - Code that enable following features
peroid - period between each secondary sounds (in second).
randomperiod - the random part of period between each secondary sounds.
That is, the perid between each secondary sounds is
peroid + x milliseconds
where 0 < x < randomperiod
primarysound - the primary sound. This sound will be played first
when Talk is called
primarymode - the primary sound is played once when it is set to "play"
the primary sound is played repeatly when it is set to "loop"
nprimaryrepeat - period when primary sound last (in second)
sndmode - the secondary series of sounds are played once when it is set to "play"
the secondary series of sounds are played repeatly when it is set to "loop"
sndorder - the order of playing secondary sounds. Play in the order of sound1, sound2, ...
if "regular". Play in a random order if "random"

Please follow instructions in Mark's Page to install this applet
If TALK works, you may want to try different playing styles
by making changes to pararmter "primarymode", "sndmode",
"primarysound", and "nsndsound" in one of following styles
a). <param name=primarymode value="play">
<param name=sndmode value="loop">
b). <param name=primarymode value="loop">
<param name=sndmode value="play">
c). <param name=primarymode value="play">
<param name=sndmode value="play">
d). <param name=primarysound value="">
e). <param name=nsndsound value="0">
or you may change sndorder to "regular".
Please drop Mark a EMail if it works. Otherwise...
Troubleshooting:
If you see an error "Applet can't start: class talk not found"
or "Applet can't start: class talk got a security violation: method verification error"
in the status bar, that means that you didn't RENAME those class
files correctly. Their correct names are: talk.class and playsnd.class
(Please reopen your browser after you correct names of class files).
If you get error message other than that, or you don't hear any sound, read the instructions
for installation in readme.txt or please go to mark's home page
for detail instructions of installation and troubleshooting.
