The following Parameters are available for Jtmedium and Jtmax :
1. sdirectory This is the (relative) directory of the sound clips.
Its the Sound directory. It should be below your main directory. As an
example if your sounds are kept in a directory called sounds ,the entry
is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = sdirectory VALUE="sounds/">
That forward slash has to be present. If your sounds are in the same
directory as your html and .class files, skip that entire line.
2. idirectory
Its the Image directory. It should be below your main directory. As an
example if your images are kept in a directory called images ,the entry
is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = idirectory VALUE="images/">
That forward slash has to be present.If your images are in the same
directory as your html and .class files, skip the entire line.
3. introloop
Its the initial sound clip. If you run the applet on your hard-drive,
you may not notice the delay in program loading. But because your web
page visitors will be surfing with a phone line, they might experience
a long delay before the applet actually does anything visible or audible.
The very first thing the applet does is to download and play this clip
to keep your visitors expectant. Therefore this
"introloop" should be short and sweet.
The entry is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = introLoop VALUE="loop1.au">
If you did not include an introloop, skip that entire line.
4. longloop
This sound clip is the last thing that is downloaded and played.
When about 75% of the pictures have been shown for the first
time, the longloop starts downloading in the backgroud. This is so
because its usually longer but more appropriate than the introloop.
The entry is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = longloop VALUE="holynite.au">
If you did not include a longloop, skip that entire line.
Only the .au type of sound files can be used with Jtmedium and Jtmax.
5. mysonglist
This is a list of (usually) very short sound clips that play at a set
interval at random over the continuous background music. You can list as
many as 3. Jtmedium will ignore the rest. Separate each name with at least one
space as in the example below:
<PARAM NAME = mysonglist VALUE="Hi.au sah.au laugh.au">
If you did not include any shortclips, skip that entire line.
Only the .au type of sound files can be used with Jtmedium and Jtmax.
6. myimagelist
This is a list of images that are of the .gif or .jpg format only.
You can list as many as 3. Jtmedium will ignore the rest. Separate each name with at least one
space as in the example below:
<PARAM NAME = myimagelist VALUE="vid00826.jpg elle.gif ant.jpg">
If you did not include any images, skip that entire line.
Check the "Operation Tips" for further information.
7. myfile
The file containing the text messages that will flash on the applet.
Look at the examples provided earlier.
The entry is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = myfile VALUE="filename.txt">
The extension doesn't have to be .txt
If you don't use this parameter, the applet will welcome your visitor anyway.
8. appletcolor
The applet will try to assume the color you specify for its background.
The appletcolor parameter is a 6 figure hex value (0 to 9 to A to F).
If you have an activeX plug-in or are using explorer you will see some
buttons, one on each of these instruction files. They change the color
of the web page when clicked. They also show the hex value of the color
that is showing. You can use the buttons to pick a color for your applet.
The entry is of this type:
<PARAM NAME = appletcolor VALUE="B766C4">
If you do not specify the appletcolor parameter, the applet will try
to guess the color of your web-page and emulate it. This helps the applet
not to stick out of your homepage. Results will depend on many things
including the browser you are using. If the applet fails to
guess the background color of your web-page you could end up with an ugly
Red !
