FlagLoad - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998/99


This applet loads an image and animate it like a waving flag. You can
 set any GIF/JPG flag; just resize it to be no larger than the applet
 itself. 

This applet is fully parametrized, so you can change the intensity and the
speed of wind.

The transparent image por.gif is a courtesy of Lone Star Posse Prod. Inc.

**************************************************************************

NECESSARY FILES.

As well as the flag image, and an optional foreground image, the following
 3 ".class" files must be uploaded: 

FlagLoad.class
Lware.class
anfy.class

Plus, FlagLoad.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.

Insert the <applet></applet> tag in your html document as follows to add 
this applet to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code descriptions
and acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):

INSTRUCTIONS.


The following instructions describe how to change parameters:

Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.

To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
 from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from the
 registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
when the applet is mouse-clicked.

If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
for the reglink:

"_blank"  : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
"_self"   : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
"_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
"_top"    : To load the link into the top body of the window.

You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".

With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.

NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be animated only on latest
 browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).

With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.

You can determine the width and height of the applet with the "width" and
"height" parameters in the <applet> tag.

The parameter "res" is the resizer, however resizing to a value greater than 1
results in poor appearance and a slower effect.

You can change the background colour for best results on your web page.
RGB values are the same as those in HTML tags, but in purely decimal 
values without the "#" symbol.

You can load a background image by placing its name in the "backimage"
parameter. This image must be the same size as the applet if res=1, then
half the size of the applet if res=2, and so on.

The style of painting is changed with the parameter "pattern":

1 = small dots
2 = double dots
3 = stars
4 = stars with a central hole
5 = triangles
6 = triple dots
7 = triple dots dithered 1
8 = triple dots dithered 2

The "speed" parameter controls the speed of the effect.

The "curve" level changes the intensity of vertical waving. 

The "wind" value decides the meteorologic condition: 0 = no waving,
and 20 = hurricane.

The most important parameter is: "flagload". Here you must place the name
 of the image file to be animated.

This image can have any width and height, but be sure it is similiar
in size and width/height ratio to the applet itself for best results.

The "pixdensity" parameter (1-20) determines the distance between plotted 
points. So, this parameter works another resolution controler.
