Component Rolling Text

This component inserts a Java applet rolling the text.

You should have an active Page Editor window. The rolling text will be inserted at the cursor position.

This component uses the resource files which are inserted in the folder named RollText incorporated in the folder set as default for dynamic pages and CGIs. It is the CGI-BIN folder by default. Be sure to not delete these files by accident.

You can change the size of the component by resizing the applet icon in the page.

The advanced users can modify the properties of the rolling text by double-clicking the applet icon in the page.
In the Java Applet Properties dialog box, change the values of the following parameters.

The bgcolor and textcolor parameters define the background and text colors.
They are set in the RGB hexidecimal format. For example, #000000 is for black, #FFFF00 - yellow, #FFFFFF is for white. The first two digits describe the red component of the color, the second two - green, and the last two - the blue components. The greater the value of each component is, the more of it will be presented in the result color.

The fontsize parameter defines the font size of the text.

The space parameter defines an amount of spaces between the lines.

The speed parameter defines a speed of scrolling the text (in pixels per second).

The fadezone parameter defines the zones at the top and bottom (in pixels, from edges of the box) where the text is faded.

The text itself is represented by a sequence of separate lines in the parameters called line1, line2, and so on.
You can change the strings in the lines and add new lines having assigned to them the corresponding names. The line numbering must be kept as strictly sequential.
