SPINNING NEWSPAPER HEADLINE ROTATOR :: XML

ACTIVEDEN “FEATURED” FILE !
+ ACTIVEDEN “FILE OF THE WEEK ”!
+ ACTIVEDEN “POPULAR” FILE !

The classic spinning newspaper from movies and television. Drag it into your project and size it. Use the XML file to set the global pause time and rotation options…and the headline, image, and link URL for each item. Images are automatically resized, smoothed, and converted to greyscale. Mouse rollover returns the image to full color.

The “EXTRA!” animation can be easily removed from between loops or completely. Uses the common “Impact” font for headline text.
