The Page Effects Panel allows you select the Page effect to be inserted on the page.

Note: You can place multiple Page Effects on a single page, but the responsiveness of the browser maybe affected.


Page Effects Panel

Effect - Click on this popup menu to select a effect from the available effects. The Sampler will only contain one effect.

Description - After selecting an effect, a description of the effect will appear in this area.

Animation Timeout slider - The time in minutes that the page effect will run once started.

Sound button - Pressing this button will bring up the Sound Files dialog. Select the sound to play while the effect is running. Select the "No Audio" item to turn off all sounds. Select "Add File..." to add a .au sound file to the list.

Loop Sound checkbox - Check the "Loop Sound" checkbox to play the selected sound file over and over. If the "Loop Sound" checkbox is not checked, the sound will only play once and then stop.

Install Page Resize Handler - check this to install a JavaScript routine on the page that will change the boundaries for the effect when the browser window is resized. The installation of this event handler may over ride other page resize event handlers on the page.

Force update of support files - Checking this and then pressing the OK button will force all files on the web to be updated from the master "_frontlook" folder. Normally only new files are copied up to the web. You may see a confirmation dialog appear when existing files are copied to the web. You should say "Yes" to this confirmation dialog.

Preview - Common to all panels, brings up a preview window to view the current Effect settings in a browser window.

OK - Submits the effect JavaScript/DHTML to the current web page and supports files to the web.

Cancel - Cancels dialog and any changes that were made.

Help - Brings up this file.

Tool tip help - available for all the controls in the dialog. Place the cursor over a control you would like to know more about, pause and a help balloon will appear defining that element of the dialog box.
