Scroll Up Banner Java Applet

This java applet presents a banner that cycles through a bunch of text strings optionally associated with URL's. Although it doesn't have all the functionality of the one used at the top of the TVGuide page, it nontheless, is fairly complete. The parameters could be created dynamically with ASP possibly retrieving the banner text and URL's from a database.

Parameters	*Notes ( denotes required values)**
*m0..mn	Message text. begin with name 'm0' then use 'm1', 'm2', etc. The sequence must continue numerically or the argument parser will stop loading them.
u0..un	URL associated with the message text. Different from the 'mn' variables. Each one is uptional. A text banner doesn't have to have a URL associated with it.
sleepshort	duration in milliseconds between each scrolling event. This is the duration between redrawing the line one pixel up.
sleeplong	duration that the text stays still in milliseconds. I've found 2500 to be a good one and that's the default.
column	starting text column in pixels.
row	starting text row in pixels.
backgroundcolor	RGB color value converted to decimal integer. As soon as I figure out how to parse the hex value, '#FF00FF', I'll switch to it. Meanwhile, try www.visibone.com's site for help with web color selection.
foregroundcolor	RGB color value converted to decimal integer. See above.
maxmessages	maximum number of messages. The default is 20 if you don't have it in the list. I'll be figuring out how to dynamically update the array soon and this one will go away.
fontsize	font size in the typical units that are used by Word and the various editors.
font	font name such as 'Arial', 'Times New Roman' etc.
