Using flashTicker with a Data Array
The numbers # 1 through # 6 detail how to define the basic parameters:
Note: Images cannot be defined in a data array, for more features, we recommend using an XML file.
| Property | Description | |
| 1 |
XML FILE |
Leave this v |
| 2 | FILE TYPE | Select the file type to load. Ignore this when using data array. |
| 3 | DATA ARRAY | An array containing the text content of the topics. The order of the array determines the order in which the topics are displayed (see image A below). |
| 4 | TOPIC SPACER | This is the distance in pixels between each topic. |
| 5 | ROUND SPACER | This
is the distance in pixels between topic rounds. NOTE: In cases where there are not enough topics to fill the height of the flashTicker, the round spacer will be automatically determined and the number set will have no effect. |
| 6 | TARGET IS URL | Sets a default value for target types. Set to 'true' if links are URLs. If 'false' links will open anywhere else inside of Flash (e.g. open in a movie clip, another level, etc). |
| 7 | TARGET ARRAY | An array of targets. The order in which the targets are entered correspond to the order in which the topics are listed (see image B below). |
| 8 | TARGET NAME | Define where your target should open. For example, if you want to open a URL in a new window, you would type "_blank" (without quotation marks). Or if you want to open the target in level 1, you'd type "_level1" (without quotation marks). To open a target in a movie clip, you would enter the instance name of the movie clip. |
