The Flag Animation Applet
The FlagApplet animates a single user defined image to give the appearence that the image is blowing in the
wind like a flag. The flag seen below has been produced from a single gif image by the FlagApplet,
which is available for use on your website. It is possible to animate any single image to produce a
three dimensional wavy effect which makes your flag appear to be being blown in the wind, well kinda - if you
squint and use your imagination.
How To Use It
Follow these simple steps to enhance your web page.
- Download and unzip the Flag Applet distribution files.
- Paste the relevant applet code (see below) into your html page source.
- Copy the files, including: your_Own_Page.html, your_Own_Flag.gif, and FlagApplet.jar to your webserver.
The following code is the minimal required to produce an animated flag. It should be placed within
the html source of your page. The value of the image parameter must be the location of the
relevant files, and the other parameters must remain unchanged. The height and width of the applet
should be suitably adjusted for the image being used. For the 'Generation Animation' text to appear
the width must be set to at least 160.
<APPLET ARCHIVE="FlagApplet.jar" CODE="FlagApplet.class" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME="copyright" VALUE="(c) 1999 Dan MacFarlane">
<PARAM NAME="home" VALUE="http://www.dancity.com/">
<PARAM NAME="image" VALUE="myflag.gif">
</APPLET>
Optionally, you can customize the FlagAppet further by including any of the following parameters within
the Applet tag. You may set the background colour, using the background parameter. You may set the number of
frames generated for the animation, using the frames parameter. Note that the more frames you have the slower it
will run, but it will be smoother. You may also set the Applet to act a hyperlink using the href parameter
and optionaly include a target for the link.
<PARAM NAME="background" VALUE="#000000">
<PARAM NAME="frames" VALUE="8">
<PARAM NAME="href" VALUE="http://www.dancity.com/">
<PARAM NAME="target" VALUE="_new">
What It Will Cost
This applet is absolutely free. However I do ask that you include the 'copyright' and 'home' parameters
within the applet tag and credit my work suitably, not trying to pass it of as your own. You may also choose
to place a DanCity Java gif on one of your web pages to acknowledge my work and let others know where to
find applets for their own pages. You can find DanCity Java gifs on the DanCity site.
How To Get It
You can download the most recent version of this applet and other applets at The
DanCity site.
If You Experience Problems
The applet has been extensively tested and you should not experience problems. However, the unforeseen
may arise. If you do have problems with this applet then you should first of all consult the Using Java Applets FAQ
found on the DanCity site.
If you still encounter problem then send me an email here describing as
precisely as possible the symptoms, circumstances and the nature of your problem. Where possible you should
also include a URL where the actual problem can be seen.
Remember
Visit DanCity again soon for more enhancing applets.
