Explanation of param tag.
- PARAM NAME=directory...directory of image files. If image files are under IMAGES directory, value must be "IMAGES/". This is optional tag. Default is same directory as applet file.
- PARAM NAME=speed...speed of mascot move. Default is 4.
- PARAM NAME=nimgs...number of stop image files. It must be even number, because 1 status needs 2 image files. Default is 2.
- PARAM NAME=background_color...background color value. It is hex value of six
characters and it's format is similler to <BODY BGCOLOR=>tag. You can get color value using Color picker for html. Default is light gray.
- PARAM NAME=background_image...background image file name. It must be GIF or JPEG format. This is optional tag. I suggest the size of image file must be small.
- PARAM NAME=click_sound...The sound when click mascot. Sound file must be au (sample rate:8000, resolution:16bit, channel:mono) format. This is optional tag.
- PARAM NAME=bgm...The background sound. Sound file must be au (sample rate:8000, resolution:16bit, channel:mono) format. This is optional tag.
