Hi ,

I did the tutorial head Lab News Flasher V1.1.2 but when I download the component, not all the parameters are included that are being described in the tut.  
– **PATH TO TXT:** ‘set a path to your external TXT’  
the TXT must look like this:  
&content=text no 1 here|text no2 here|text no 3 here&  
the amount of your text is dynamically handled.  
From the tut:  
– \*\*xANIMATION ON/OFF : **turn ON horizontal Movement is true  
– yANIMATION ON/OFF : turn ON vertical Movement is true  
– AlphaANIMATION ON/OFF: Turn Alpha-Blend on is true  
–** XWIDTH OF ANIMATION: \*\*‘Choose a width of your horizontal animation in pixels’ - Note that this amount will get the textfields width added, to make sure your textfield exactly leaves your WIDTH OF ANIMATION  
– **yWIDTH OF ANIMATION: ‘Choose a width of your vertical animation in pixels’ - Note that this amount will get the textfields heigth added, to make sure your textfield exactly leaves your HEIGTH OF ANIMATION  
– BRAKE SPEED: ‘Choose a value in the list’ - Experiment with this  
– Stop Time: ‘type in a value to make your text stop for a certain amount of time’ - Experiment with this  
– ACCELERATION SPEED**: ‘Type in a value (1-50 should fit)’ - Experiment with this

Alpha animation and Acceleration Speed (very important of course) are not in my is not in my list? Am I missing something??

Thank you. Great Site!!

i also had this problem when downloading. if you look in the readme that comes with the file however, it doesn’t have all those extra options (alpha, accel) listed. so i dont really think there’s anything wrong with your newsflasher…headlab probably just make a goof-up
