Ibon Tolosana brings a new dimension to presentation.  This applet makes a great little ad or something a little different to put on your splash page.  The adjusted code is shown at the right. Get the files you need for this applet from FX Applets.

You're free to change any of the parameters except the credit line which is necessary for this applet to be free of charge. The url parameter can be a link to your page or to another site. If you do not want to link, change the value to "no". Be sure to read any help pages for details on configuring this applet.

Other limits: Burst value cannot be greater than 3 and colormapsize cannot be greater than 200.

Once you've gotten the code adjusted to your satisfaction, close the element and resize it to the dimensions of your applet.  Then save and publish your page. Make sure everything works correctly when you preview it. Make any other necessary adjustments.

Be sure you upload the fireFX.class file and the Producer.class file to your Files Manager.  Otherwise, you won't have a working applet - all you'll see is a gray box.
