Anfyflag - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996-99 This applet can generate and animate a waving flag in realtime, and the flags of 34 nations are supported. If the flag you are searching for is not supported by this applet, please check the FlagLoad applet which loads any GIF/JPG flag. This applet is fully parametrized, so you can change the nation flag and change the intensity and speed of wind. ************************************************************************ NECESSARY FILES. Apart from an optional foreground image, the following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded: AnFlag.class Lware.class anfy.class Plus, AnFlag.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers. ************************************************************************ EXAMPLE. Insert the 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): ; Registration code (if you have it) ; URL of optional link when clicked ; Reglink opened in new frame? ; Name of new frame for reglink ; Statusbar message ; Resolution (1-8) ; RED comp. of backg. colour (0-255) ; GREEN comp. of backg. colour (0-255) ; BLUE comp. of backg. colour (0-255) ; Type of drawing pattern (1-8) ; Speed of wind ; Curve level (1-5) ; Wind intensity (0-20) ; Nation (1-34) ; Pixel density (1-20) ; Optional image over applet ; Over image X offset ; Over image Y offset ; Memory deallocation delay ; Task priority (1..10) ; Min. milliseconds/frame for sync Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java. ; Message for no java browsers. ; End of applet tag ************************************************************************** INSTRUCTIONS. The following instructions describe how to change parameters: Note: Attempting to change the crdits 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 unique 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 tag. The parameter "res" is the resizer and with any integer, you can strech the applet image. However, we have found that the best value is 1, because enlarging the screen causes poor display. You can change the background colour for best results on your web page. The RGB values are the same as those in HTML tags, but in purely decimal values without the "#" symbol. The style of painting may differ according to the value for the parameter "pattern": 1 = small dots 2 = double dots 3 = stars 4 = stars with center hole 5 = triangles 6 = triple dots 7 = triple dots dithered 1 8 = triple dots dithered 2 The "speed" parameter will control the speed of the animation. The "curve" level will change the intensity of vertical waving. The "wind" value will change the meteorologic condition: 0 = no waving, and 20 = typhoon. The most important parameter is: "nation". The applet supports 34 flags of 34 nations, which you specify with a number as follows: 1 = Italy 2 = Spain 3 = France 4 = Ireland 5 = Austria 6 = Germany 7 = Netherlands (Holland) 8 = Belgium 9 = Luxembourg 10 = Sweden 11 = Norway 12 = Iceland 13 = Groenland 14 = Denmark 15 = Finland 16 = Poland 17 = Hungary 18 = Switzerland 19 = South Africa 20 = Russia 21 = Japan 22 = Israel 23 = Greece 24 = Usa 25 = Canada 26 = Australia 27 = New Zealand 28 = United Kingdom 29 = Argentina 30 = Peru' 31 = Venezuela 32 = Mexico 33 = Brazil 34 = Colombia The "pixdensity" parameter (1-20) determines the distance between plotted points. So, this works as another resolution parameter.
