Maxine would like the credit roll to appear in a 12-point white font on a brown back-
ground. She suggests setting the speed of the scrolling to 100, which is 100 milliseconds or
1/10 of a second between each movement of the text. She wants 3 pixels of space between
each line of text and a
fadezone
value of 20 pixels. The scrolling should run continuously.
Add these parameters and values to the object code for the CreditRoll applet.
To insert the parameters for the CreditRoll applet:
◗
1.
Add the following parameters directly above the text for the cast list to set the
font style of the scrolling text:
<param name=”fontsize” value=”12” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”A27029” />
<param name=”textcolor” value=”FFFFFF” />
◗
2.
Add the following parameters to set the scrolling speed, the space between the
lines of text, and the size of the fadezone:
<param name=”speed” value=”100” />
<param name=”vspace” value=”3” />
<param name=”fadezone” value=”20” />
◗
3.
Finally, set the CreditRoll applet to repeatedly scroll the text without stopping by
adding the following parameter, as shown in Figure 7-38:
<param name=”repeat” value=”yes” />
