What's new for v 2.0722.1999
Parameter descriptions:
| Parameter name | Brief description | Valid range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| TextURL | Location of the text file containing the lines that will be burnt. Can be a relative address or complete URL. | n/a | FireApplet.txt |
| ImageURL | Location of an optional background image. Can be a relative address or complete URL. | n/a | (none) |
| LinkURL | Location of a web page that you would like the applet to link to when clicked. If you need to target another frame in your page, place a comma after the link address, followed by your target frame name. Eg: 'http://www.bluesnews.com,MainFrame' would cause the applet to link to BluesNews and put the page in the frame named 'MainFrame'. | n/a | My site |
| DecayRate | The rate at which the fire decays. The higher the value, the faster it decays (generally, higher values result in shorter flames). | >0.0 | 0.5 |
| Delay | The delay (in milliseconds) between fire updates. The smaller the value, the faster the flames rise. | >0 | 10 |
| Font | The font face to use to display the text. | n/a | Arial |
| Size | The size of the text. | >0 | 20 |
| Bold | If this parameter is 1, the text will be bold. | 0 or 1 | 0 |
| Italic | If this parameter is 1, the text will be italicised. | 0 or 1 | 0 |
| Coals | If this parameter is 1, a bed of coals will smolder, causing rising fire from the ground. | 0 or 1 | 1 |
| BurnInside | If this parameter is 1, fire will burn inside the text (or logo image if supplied). | 0 or 1 | 0 |
| FadeText | If this parameter is 1, the text will be gradually faded towards the background colour. | 0 or 1 | 0 |
| Deviation | This is a value which determines how vigorously the flames burn. The lower the value, the more flames. | >0 | 10 |
| Scatter | How much horizontal pixel deviation there is. 0 for no deviation. Gives the appearance of wind if the value is greater than 0. | 0 to 255 | 0 |
| FgColour | The colour the text will appear | 000000 to FFFFFF | FFFFFF |
| BgColour | This is the colour of the background when 'BurnInside' is specified. | 000000 to FFFFFF | 000000 |
| FireColour | This parameter contains four colour values separated by commas. The fire, during it's life-cycle, goes through four major colour changes. The colour fades from value 1 to value 2, then from value 2 to value 3, from value 3 to value 4 and finally from value 4 to whatever was specified as the background colour. See below for some examples of FireColour you could use. | 000000 to FFFFFF | BgColour |
