This is a HELP file for installing the Photo Album II by Intel. It is a file written by the Webmaster of this website because Intel no longer supports the installation or download of the files required. For this reason you might be able to find OTHER installation instructions through the use of a search engine which are more complete.

You can install the associated files for the Photo Album II within a separate File Folder and link it to your webpage for display. Also, you can install all the files within your Main File Directory and display from there.

The 14 class files you should install within the folder or directory contained within the ZIP file. Also included, are 8 .jpg image files for initial operation. All the images files should be the same size for the Applet to appear most uniform. Try different size image files as you like.

The HTML required to operate the Photo Album II is as follows:

<center>
<APPLET CODE="photoalbum.class" WIDTH=440 HEIGHT=340>
<PARAM name="developer" value="Demicron (www.demicron.se)">
<PARAM name="userinterface" value="standardui">

<PARAM name="standardui.usepausebutton" value="no">
<PARAM name="standardui.innerborderwidth" value="2">

</APPLET>
</center>

Using the above HTML on you display webpage will center the Album and display 8 images with different disolves between each image.

I mentioned the images should be the SAME size for optimum operation and for the size of this display the images are 400 X 300 pixels. They fit the size of the Applet frame defined in the above HTML. You can CHANGE the Height and Width of the FRAME and modify the images as appropriate.

The <PARAM name="standardui.maincolor" value="FF33FF"> line allows you to change the RGB COLOR of the frame by changing the color VALUE.

The <PARAM name="standardui.usepausebutton" value="no"> allows you to include a "PAUSE" button on the BOTTOM of the FRAME. The button is currently set to "no" but can be changed to "yes" for display and use.

The <PARAM name="standardui.innerborderwidth" value="2">
<PARAM name="standardui.middleborderwidth" value="12">
<PARAM name="standardui.outerborderwidth" value="4">
all control the configuration of the FRAME. You might want to "tinker" with those settings to see the different displays.

The <PARAM name="transtime" value="5000">
<PARAM name="timeout" value="100000">
<PARAM name="pause" value="1000">
control the various times of display and pause. Tinker with their settings to learn how they operate.

I'm not certain what the <PARAM name="minframenr" value="150"> line does. It has something to do with the main frame settings and can be changed. Tinker with it and see the results.

The <PARAM name="bgcolor" value="000000"> sets the BACKGROUND COLOR in the Album display. If you choose to use images which do NOT completely fill the frame that color will be the display background as well as the color between images.

The <PARAM name="fxmod0" value="brushfxmod">
<PARAM name="fxmod1" value="zoomfxmod">
<PARAM name="fxmod2" value="blackholefxmod">
<PARAM name="fxmod3" value="unseenwindsfxmod">
<PARAM name="fxmod4" value="origamifxmod">
<PARAM name="fxmod5" value="liquidfxmod">
control the EFFECT "fades/modes" between the images. You might want to change the order by changing the values around to different "fxmod1". You can also TURN OFF the modes by enclosing the <param> line in a <!-- <PARAM name="fxmod0" value="brushfxmod"> --> as displayed here.

Of course, you can determine the number and size of the images for display through the settings and selected size of the images.
<PARAM name="image0" value="1.jpg">
<PARAM name="image1" value="2.jpg">
<PARAM name="image2" value="3.jpg">
<PARAM name="image3" value="4.jpg">
<PARAM name="image4" value="5.jpg">
<PARAM name="image5" value="6.jpg">
<PARAM name="image6" value="7.jpg">
<PARAM name="image7" value="8.jpg">

NOTE: the FIRST image is 0. If the first image is "image1" the applet will NOT operate.

That just about sums up my knowledge of the applet and it's use. If you learn something that might be of interest to others please contact me at mailto:dacrum@attbi.com so I might include it in this file.
