GENERAL NOTES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

// BrainCode's slideways.class code is written protectively -- to make
// it easy to set up and get running.  Demos and all the associated
// graphics are included, to get you rolling quickly.
//
// Other than the "Notice" parameter and a couple of image files,
// you can leave out any parameter and the applet will run.
// That is, "If in doubt, leave it out!"  
//
// You can make the applet as simple as you wish, without the
// clutter and confusion of a multitude of parameters -- and then
// gradually build upward into more complex renditions.
//
// Parameter names are as descriptive as we can make them without
// having them a mile long, and they ARE case sensitive, so take care.
//
// Keep image files to the smallest dimensions and file sizes
// possible.  Large images backload the applet and slow it down.
//
// To get started, place the slideways.class file and ALL files used by
// the applet in the SAME directory.
//
// Check out the demos included, and gradually change parameters
// to get a feel for how the applet works.
//
// Good luck, and we hope you have a blast with BrainCode's
// slideways.class. It's a fairly simple applet to use, but it does a
// superb job with slideshow presentations.
//
// Best regards,
//
// BrainCode

=========================================================================



<param name="Notice"                 value="Applet by www.BrainCode.com">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Must be present, EXACTLY, or the applet will run, but return an error
// message indicating the notice is wrong or missing.


<PARAM NAME="KeyCode"                        VALUE="whatever_the_key_is">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// COMMERCIAL & FOR-PROFIT USERS ARE *REQUIRED* TO PURCHASE keys for
// this applet, always quickly available at www.BrainCode.com.  You may
// of course use the free version for evaluation purposes!
//
// If you have the FREE version...
// Enter FREE in the VALUE.  For example:
//
//       <PARAM NAME="KeyCode" VALUE="FREE">
//
// If you have the PURCHASED version...
// Enter your key in this VALUE. For example:
//
//       <PARAM NAME="KeyCode" VALUE="AQ?/FFG1*PSU9">
//
// For those with the purchased version, keys are automatically made
// for you dynamically off the BrainCode.com site.  You'll receive
// clear, exact, explicit instructions on this at time of purchase,
// and each time that you make a key.
//
// If you are unsure what the domain for the key is, use DOMAIN as
// the value in this parameter.  For example:
//
//       <PARAM NAME="KeyCode" VALUE="DOMAIN">
//
// and it will tell you the domain name needed for the applet.


<param name="BackgroundColor"                        value="rrr,ggg,bbb">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the applet background color.
// Usual RGB format, values 0-255. Examples:
//
//     value = "255,0,0"     applet background red
//     value = "0,255,0"     applet background green
//     value = "0,0,255"     applet background blue
//     value = "0,0,0"       applet background black
//     value = "255,255,255" applet background white
//
// Be certain to use all three value, separated by commas.  Each value
// may be a number between 0 and 255.  Different colors are created by
// using values within that range; orange, for instance:  255,128,0



<param name="Direction"                                        value="0">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the direction in which the applet will scroll the images.
// Be certain to check height= and width= in the <applet> tag in your
// html to allow adequate space.
//
// SlideWays performs in either horizontal or vertical scrolling modes:
//
//     0 = scroll from right to left (horizontal)
//     1 = scroll from left to right (horizontal)
//     2 = scroll from bottom to top (vertical)
//     3 = scroll from top to bottom (vertical)
//
// The default is right-to-left, value=0.  You may leave the parameter
// out if you don't need it.


<param name="Speed"                                           value="19">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This is the speed of the applet scrolling.  Smaller numbers produce 
// faster scrolling.  A suggested range is probably 5-30 or so, but 
// feel free to experiment.  Note that running too fast may cause
// skipping on some monitors, and running very slowly will tend to pro-
// duce a stepped, jerking motion.  As a rule, the applet functions fine
// at the default speed; so you may normally leave this parameter out
// entirely.


<param name="SoundFile"                             value="soundfile.au">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This is the sound file that will be triggered on a mouse-click.  It
// *must* be in standard JAVA .au sound file format. Keep sound files as
// small as possible.  If not using sound, leave this parameter out.


<param name="FrameThickness"                                   value="5">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the thickness of the frame in pixels.  The frame is optional
//   and the default value for it is 5 pixels.  If you don't wish to see
//   the frame, set this value to 0.  Note that the 'frame' occurs out-
//   side what we call the 'border' (see BorderThickness below.)


<param name="FrameColor"                             value="rrr,ggg,bbb">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the frame color.
// Usual RGB format, values 0-255.
// Example: value = "0,0,255" would make the frame blue.


<param name="BorderThickness"                                  value="5">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the thickness of the border around each image, in pixels.  
//    The border is optional and the default value for it is 5 pixels.
//    If you don't wish to see the border, set this value to 0.  Note
//    that the 'border' occurs inside what we call the 'frame'
//    (see FrameThickness above.)


<param name="BorderColor"                            value="rrr,ggg,bbb">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the border color.
// Usual RGB format, values 0-255.
// Example: value = "0,255,0" would make the border green.


<param name="LinkMode"                                         value="1">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets whether the border, the frame, both, or nothing will change
//    to the LinkColor (below) when the mouse passes over an image.  The
//    value settings are:
//       0 = frame & border (both)
//       1 = frame
//       2 = border
//       3 = neither
//    Note that frame and border thicknesses must be set to suitable 
//    values, or, of course, you won't see the link color changes.


<param name="LinkColor"                              value="rrr,ggg,bbb">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets the link color.
// Usual RGB format, values 0-255.
// Example: value = "255,0,0" would make the link color red.



<param name="Justification"                                    value="1">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This sets how images will be positioned or 'justified' in the applet,
// vertically or horizontally, *depending* on the Direction parameter,
// which see.
//
// IF the Direction is *horizontal* (value 0 or 1), then:
//    The value settings are:
//       0 = top 
//       1 = center (default)
//       2 = bottom
//
// IF the Direction is *vertical* (value 2 or 3), then:
//    The value settings are:
//       0 = left 
//       1 = center (default)
//       2 = right
//
// Note that images CAN be larger than the height of the applet.
// SlideWays does NOT size the images -- you must do that in your
// graphics editor.


<param name="Image1"                                   value="image.jpg">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This set of parameters sets the images to be used.  Images may be 
//     .gif, animated .gif, or .jpg formats.  Keep image file sizes and
//     dimensions as small as possible, of course, to keep down loading
//     time and redrawing overhead.  
//
// Note that images DO NOT have to have similar dimensions.  The applet
//     readily accommodates images of varying widths and heights, and 
//     interesting effects can be created using differing form factors.  
//
// For EACH IMAGE, change the number portion of the parameter.  Numbers
//     should be successive, starting at 1, with no skips in the number
//     sequence.  For example:
//           <param name="Image1" value="horse.jpg">
//           <param name="Image2" value="earth.jpg">
//           <param name="Image3" value="phone.jpg">
//
// Have a look at the included demos if you need additional examples.


<param name="Link1"     value="http://www.whatevername.com/thepage.html">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This would be the link associated with a given image, following the
//    same numbering scheme as in the ImageX parameter above -- that is,
//    Link1 would be the link associated with Image1, Link2 associates
//    with Image2, etc.
//
// If you do NOT want an image linked -- leave out the tag.  Skips in 
//    the number sequence of the LinkX parameter are permitted.
//
// Note that if an ImageX has no link associated, of course there will
//    be no link box that follows that image.


<param name="Target1"                                       value="_new">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This is the target frame or window that the corresponding image will
// link to.  Again, same numbering scheme as with images.  It IS okay to
// skip numbers in TargetX.  If you don't specify a TargetX, the default
// is _top -- that is, same window.
//
// Just so you don't have to go look it up... TargetX takes the
// same general values that you use in HTML.  Values with an underscore
// usually refer to the browser itself, thus:
//
//                 _new   - opens a new window
//                 _blank - also a new window
//                 _self  - loads in the same frame
//                 _top   - opens in the same window
//
// When using a framed page layout, the value for TargetX would be the
// name of the frame where you want the linked page to appear; i.e.,
// main, contents, george -- whatever name you've given the frame.
