8. Stop animations/messages, Sound, Font Color etc for V2.0

1) Random animations stop at x position, change image from one to the other, Sound （ "image" ): <PARAM NAME="images" value="xxx.gif | x start | y start | x speed | y speed | x turn | y turn | mouse area x | mouse area y | URL | message | message x adjust | message y adjust | stop at x position | Sequence 1 or 2 | Audio file xxx.au | Audio Option | font color |*|">; (1) Stop animations at x position

Animations will stop at x position after the move. However, the figures to be defined in the "x position" and "x start" must be divided by "x speed".; (2) Change animations from one image to the other image

The first image to be defined as "1" in the "Sequence 1" will be replaced by the image being defined as "2" in the "Sequence 2" after the "sleeptime". Such continuous changes images may impact us as like as the examples.

( 1st image sample ) ( 2nd image sample )

On the other hand, if you skip the function - "stop at x position" -, please define the parameters as "999" or "9999" in this field.

Example page is Here. ( 1998/9/1 ); (3) Audio file ( xxx.au ) in the "Audio file" field; Sound effect by mouse touch case.; (4) Audio file special option parameter for "Audio file ( xxx.au )" field ( Caution ! 1998/9/1 ); You can use the function with special parameter " music " for sound effect during animations. The parameter is " 1 ".

However, please keep in mind that some browser soft with whom being used the sound effects for any event - ie, win95, win98 and etc, may be locked due to competition if you will use this special option parameter with or without the co-use with " music " parameter shown in 4).
The sound effect by only mouse touch case is safety.

You may use following dummy.au file if you would not wont to make " Background music " during the animations.

Silence file dummy.au ( To be defined in " music " parameter. )

Silence file dummy.dat ( To be defined in " music " parameter after change file name to dummy.au )
