Thank you for downloading my Xstreamer applet.
This readme file will help get you started then the sky is the limit.

If you are going to put the applet on your page I reccommend cutting and pasteing the following:

<applet code="Xstreamer.class" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="400" border="0">
<param name=inputString value="">
<param name=stringWidth value="">
<param name=fontStyle   value="">
<param name=fontSize    value="">
<param name=speed       value="">
<param name=rightMargin value="">
<param name=foreRed     value="">
<param name=foreGreen   value="">
<param name=foreBlue    value="">
<param name=backRed     value="">
<param name=backGreen   value="">
<param name=backBlue    value="">
<param name=direction   value="">
</applet>

Just make sure "Streamer.class" is in the same folder as your page.

Here is an outline of each parameter:

<param name=inputString value="">
This one takes the sentenct you want to scroll.
ex.
<param name=inputString value="Try this out.">
Default: "This is a text scrolling applet."

<param name=stringWidth value="">
This one specifies the width of each line in characters.
ex.
<param name=stringWidth value="15">
This will make each line approximately 15 characters wide.
Default: "1"

<param name=fontStyle   value="">
This one specifies the font style, it is computer specific so try not to use special fonts.
ex.
<param name=fontStyle   value="Arial">
This will set the font style to Arial.
Default: "Courier"

<param name=fontSize    value="">
This one specifies the font size in points.
ex.
<param name=fontSize    value="18">
This sets the font size to 18pt.
Default: "12"

<param name=speed       value="">
This one specifies the speed in pixels per second.
ex.
<param name=speed       value="50">
This sets the speed to 50 pps.
Default: "40"

<param name=rightMargin value="">
This one specifies how far in from the left side you want your text to be in pixels.
ex.
<param name=rightMargin value="5">
This makes your text appear 5 pixels from the right side.
Default: "5"

<param name=foreRed     value="">
<param name=foreGreen   value="">
<param name=foreBlue    value="">
These three parameters set the text color.  Each one is a value between 0 and 255. 
If you don't know how RGB color works find another tutorial.
ex.
<param name=foreRed     value="0">
<param name=foreGreen   value="0">
<param name=foreBlue    value="255">
This sets the text color to blue.
Default: foreRed="0", foreGreen="0", foreBlue="0" ; results in black

<param name=backRed     value="">
<param name=backGreen   value="">
<param name=backBlue    value="">
These three parameters set the background color.  Each one is a value between 0 and 255. 
If you don't know how RGB color works find another tutorial.
ex.
<param name=backRed     value="128">
<param name=backGreen   value="128">
<param name=backBlue    value="128">
This sets the background color to grey.
Default: backRed="255", backGreen="255", backBlue="255" ; results in white

<param name=direction   value="">
This lets you deceide if you want the text to start at the top and scroll down, or start at the bottom and 
scroll up.  The only acceptable values are "down" and "up"
ex.
<param name=direction   value="down">
This makes the text start from the top of the applet and scroll down.
Default: "up"

That's it, you're an old pro now.
