Anfyflag - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/98


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 new 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.

The following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded: AnFlag.class, Lware.class
and anfy.class.

Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):

The following instructions detail 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 "clicked".

If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific 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 displayed as 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" parameter in the <applet> tag.

The parameter "res: is the resizer. However, we have found that the best
value is 1, because enlarging the screen causes poor display.

You can change the background color for best results on your web page.
The RGB values are same as HTML tags, but in decimal values.

The style of painting can be changed with 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 speed of effect.

The "curve" level will change the Y perturbation intensity.

The "wind" value will change the metereologic situation: 0 = no waving,
and 20 = uragan.

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) determine the distance between plotted points.
