Dynamic Billboard
by Robert Temple

FEATURES
Steps through any number of images displaying them one at a time. Transitions from one image to the next are done with special effects. Images may have URL links associated with them.

Transitions included:

• Column Shift
• Fade
• Rotate
• Tear
• Smash
• Unroll

Watch for all the Transitions. They occur randomly, but never the same one consecutively.

Features:

• Quick Content: Gets first image to the screen as fast as possible.
• Load when needed: Images and transition classes are only loaded when they are needed.
• Random: The first image is chosen from the parameters at random. Transitions types are also done at random, and the same transition type will never be used consecutively.
• Effecient: Much care was taken to keep the applet kind to your computer's processor and memory. It runs perfectly on my 486/DX2 w/8MB over a 14.4k modem.
• Configurable: Change the delay between images, the images, and the transition classes through html parameters.
• Expandable: Creating new transitions is easy for the Java programmer, using a well documented base class.
