Morph Menu - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998-2002


This applet is a navigational menu: it can display up to 20 submenu's, with
max 20 items each menu, but consider even the limit of the phisical space
where the items are displayed.

The link feature works only when you are registered by paying for the shareware.
This applet contains code by Dolf van der Schaar & Andrea Fasce which is used 
under a licence.

**************************************************************************

NECESSARY FILES.

Apart from the background image and an optional overlay image, the 
following 5 ".class" files must be uploaded: 

morphmenu.class
morphmenub.class
morphmenuc.class
Lware.class
anfy.class 

If you use a background animation effect, you have to add the respective 
class file too:

mmgalaxy.class or mmblobs.class.

Plus, morphmenu.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.

INSTRUCTIONS.

The following instructions describe how to change parameters:

Attempting to change the credits 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 menu links:

"_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".

Note: you can specify specific target for specific menu items, using the
parameters MenuTargetXX. If no MenuTargetXX is specified, regnewframe is
used.

With "statusbar_y", you can decide the postion of the text link statusbar.
If you place here a value bigger than the height of the applet, the
text will be not displayed.

This line will be printed with the colour specified in the "textcolor".

With the "menu_fx" parameter, you can enable a random flickering of the
text, specifying "random" in it. Otherwise, specify "none".

You can decide the y offset from top where start to draw the menu items
with the "menu_y" parameter.

You can control the style and size of a font using the "fontName" and
"font_h" parameters, respectively.

The usable fonts are "Courier", "Dialog", "Helvetica" and "TimesRoman".

The text alignment can be controlled with "textalign" parameter, which can
be "left","center", or "right".

The colour of selected and unselected text is determined by the "textcolor"
and "selectedcolor" parameters, and s in RRGGBB hex format, same as the
html colour format, without the leading #.

With "back_fx", you choose a type of background effect from colour, image,
galaxy animation to blobs animation.

If you choose "color", a filled colour determined by "backcolor" will be used.
If you choose "image", a gif/jpg image, specified in "back_image", will be
used.

Otherwise, you can specify one of the background effects plugins available,
and in this case you have to copy the necessary .class too.


; If back_fx = "mmgalaxy", here the extra parameters:

mmgalaxy_fx:     Galaxy shape ("ring" or "vortex)
mmgalaxy_scol:   Random seed color for effect generation
mmgalaxy_clr:    Backround burning ("none","blur","fire")
mmgalaxy_r:      Fire fade red colour (0..255)
mmgalaxy_g:      Fire fade green colour (0..255)
mmgalaxy_b:      Fire fade blue colour (0..255)
mmgalaxy_filter: Smooth filter ("yes" or "no")
mmgalaxy_bcol:   Background colour visible ("yes" or "no")

Remember to upload to site mmgalaxy.class.


; If back_fx = "mmblobs", here the extra parameters:

mmblobs_nblobs:    number of blobs (2-8)
mmblobs_minspeed:  minimum speed (1-15)
mmblobs_bval1:     Blob val 1
mmblobs_bval2:     Blob val 2
mmblobs_bval3:     Blob val 3
mmblobs_numpal:    Colour palette (1-6)
mmblobs_sinemode:  Sinus movements ("YES" or "NO")
mmblobs_starshape: Star shape ("YES" or "NO")
mmblobs_negative:  Negative colorus ("YES" or "NO")

Remember to upload to site mmblobs.class and mmblob.class.

[The floating mode:]

Optionally, you can enable the "floating window" mode.
The treemenu applet, then, will appear in a floating external window, and will
leave free all the other frame space on the web site.
But, you still have to create a small horizontal or vertical frame (maybe
1 or 2 pixels large), containing the applet, 1 pixel large.

To enable this mode:

1) Set "floatmode" to "YES"
2) Copy the applet width in the "floatw" parameter
3) Copy the applet height in the "floath" parameter
4) Set the applet width=1 and height=1

At this point, you just have to customize it using those parameters:

The window title must be written in the "floatitle" parameter.

The starting X and Y position where window should apper, must be written
in the "floatx" and "floaty" parameters. Note: the coordinates are relative
to user screen, so result can change depending on screen resolution.

If you want the window to be always on top and visible, set the "floatinfront"
parameter to "YES". This could be useful for someone, and annoying for others.

Note: the "floatinfront" option will have no effect on some versions of
Internet Explorer.


*****

[Menu System:]

This menu applet can display up to 20 submenu's, with any number of items
within each menu, the only limitation is the physical space where display
 the items. 

Each item is defined with a menu identifier + an item identifier.

For example, 00 means menu 0, item 0; 10 means menu 1, item 0; 22 means
menu 2, item 2, and so on.

If you need more than 10 menus or items, use character instead of numbers,
for example:




The numeration starts from 0, so the max menu is letter j.

Please note that you are limited to 20 menus and 20 items per menu (so
item/menu identifies can be in the range 0..9/a..j)

Each item should have a Text label:

   ; Text menu 0 item 0

The text can contain numbers or special characters, too.

Note: If you use "<---" as the name of a menu item, it will be drawn as a
back arrow, useful for back menu items.

Each menu item can have (or not have) a link.
The link can be of 2 types: MenuLinkXX or MenuUrlXX:

        ; Menu Link menu 0 item 0: submenu 1
        ; Menu link menu 1 item 0: go back

When it's a MenuLink, it indicates to go to next sub menu, or to go back
to previous menu.

To specify the submenu, you simply specify: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6... and you can go
more than one step deeper, if you want: when you are on menu 2, you can go to
submenu 3, or even to submenu 4 or 5, etc.

To go back to previous menu, just specify the number of menu from which you
were linked to the current one.

NOTE: you are obliged to specify a "BACK" item, otherwise users can't go back
to the upper level.

When it's a MenuUrl, you should specify a http:// or relative link to a file:

 ; Url Link menu 0 item 2

And, optionally, you can specify a target frame:

  ; Target for url link menu 0 item 3

If no target frame is specified, the "regframename" will be used.

Let's see a complex example, with more than one sub-menu each screen:

    (0)
     |
     |_ (1) Image Gallery            (MenuText00) Link: 1
     |       |_ <--                  (MenuText10) Link: 0
     |       |_ (2) GIF Images       (MenuText11) Link: 2
     |       |       |_ <--          (MenuText20) Link: 1
     |       |       |_ Flower.gif   (MenuText21) Url
     |       |       |_ Portrait.gif (MenuText22) Url
     |       |
     |       |_ (3) JPG Images       (MenuText12) Link: 3
     |               |_ <--          (MenuText30) Link: 1
     |               |_ Flower.jpg   (MenuText31) Url
     |               |_ Portrait.jpg (MenuText32) Url
     |
     |_ (4) Audio Files              (MenuText01) Link: 4
     |       |_ <--                  (MenuText40) Link: 0
     |       |_ Dance.wav            (MenuText41) Url
     |       |_ Classic.wav          (MenuText42) Url
     |
     |_ E-Mail                       (MenuText02) Url
