3D Stack 4 - Settings Help

Flash Player

Width: Specifies the width of the animation area.
Default: 500

Height: Specifies the height of the animation area.
Default: 350

Position Left: Specifies the margin between the animation window and the left border of the module.
Default: 0

Position Top: Specifies the margin between the animation window and the upper border of the module.
Default: 0

Quality: Specifies the animation's quality level.
Default: High
High: Favors quality of animation. (recommended)
Medium: Favors execution speed and does not take quality of animation into account unless it's possible.
Low: Favors execution speed.

Show Menu: Specifies what type of menu appears when the user Right-clicks the animation area.
Default: not checked
Checked: Shows the full menu, which gives the user several options to enhance or control playback.
Not Checked: Shows a menu that contains only the About option and the Settings option.

Alternative Content: Specifies an alternative content, which will be displayed if Flash Player is not installed or supported.
Default: -
The alternative content will be displayed in the field provided for the Flash Player. The extent of this field has been defined in the settings "Flash Player Width" and "Flash Player Height". Ensure that the alternative content can be displayed within the field defined with the Flash Player! If you do not define any alternative content, the standard Flash Player message will be displayed.

The alternative content will also be picked up by search engines, making it a great tool for creating search-engine-friendly content!


Stack

Perspective: Specifies the angle of view on the stack.
Default: 25
An angle larger than 0 turns the stack to the right (e. g., 25), an angle smaller than 0 turns the stack to the left (e. g., -25).

Position Center Left: Specifies the position of the Stack starting from the center of the animation window.
Default: 0. Plus and minus values are accepted. e.g -20
The standard position of the Stack is in the center of the animation window. With this setting the Stack can be shifted horizontally.

Position Center Top: Specifies the position of the Stack starting from the center of the animation window.
Default: 0. Plus and minus values are accepted. e.g -20
The standard position of the Stack is in the center of the animation window. With this setting the Stack can be shifted vertically.

Random Images: Specifies whether the stack pages should come in random order and limits the number of pages available.
Default: -
Performance tip: To obtain high performance for changing the pages, all images are already loaded from the start. This increases memory requirements and the initial load time of the animation, and you should therefore use “Randomized” to limit the number of images in a stack where many images are allocated.

Render Depth: Specifies the number of stack images to be rendered in highest quality.
Default: 7
To optimize the performance of the stacks you should select the lowest value at which the stack can be displayed faultlessly. Example: If you select the value "7", all images of the stack are rendered in highest quality – even if they show only partially behind the first image. If you select the value "4", only the first four images are rendered in highest quality when flipping through the stack. This may improve performance.

Preloader Path: Specifies a path to a Flash file (swf) or image file (jpg, png, gif) to display as a preloader message.
default: preloader.swf
A preloader is an indicator to inform the viewer that content is being loaded, e.g. "Please wait…
A default preloader (preloader.swf) has been provided and is preset for this option.

Color: Specifies the background color of the animation.
Default: #ffffff

Show Image: Specifies whether an image should appear as background image.

Image Path: Specifies the path of an image displayed as the background image.

Next-Button Path: Specifies the path of an image displayed as the "Next" button.
Default: -
Sample: cmdNext.png
This sThis setting allows you to replace the standard 3D Stack "Next" navigation button with your own button image.

JavaScript Function: Specifies name and parameter of the JavaScript function to be called up by clicking on an image.
Example:
MyFunction('text1', 'text2', 3)

This gives you the possibility to create own JavaScript functions via which the animation can communicate with the other modules. The JavaScript function must be on the same page with the 3D Stack, e. g., in an DotNetNuke-Text/HTML!
Example - JavaScript function in an DotNetNuke-Text/HTML module:
<script language="javascript">
function MyFunction(v1, v2, v3)
{
    alert(v1);
    alert(v2);
    alert(v3);
}
</script>

Please note: If you set the token :afterclick: in front of the function name, the JavaScript function will be called up after(!) all effects have been carried out. Example:
:afterclick:MyFunction('text1', 'text2', 3)
