It looks like Cheri's animation has suggested at least 3 new optioms for

the FlyingText Plug and Play. Rotation om mouse over, and Horizonal and

Vertical stretch based on acceleration.


Suggested new Parameters:


Rotate Quantity - number of items that rotate starting with Rotate

Start. Default is 0.

Rotate Start - the number of first MC to be rotated.

Rotate Speed - 


Horz Stretch Quantity - Default is 0.

Horz Stretch Starting # -

Horz Stretch Amount -


Vert Stretch Quantity - Default is 0.

Vert Stretch Starting # -

Vert Stretch Amount -


The above will allow no effect Quantity=0, or any one MC or series of

the MC characters be involved it the action. The Amount/Speed may be

best with one or 2 variables (I haven't played with it yet). Another

parameter could be a random setting for the amount of effect for each.


The final Question will be based on size as to whether this new version

should replace the classic or be in addition to it. Classic version is

1618 bytes.
