Hi, I am new to this group. I already found answers to some of my questions.
Keep up the good work.
Now I have a new questions: in a Website that I am developing
www.delasallemia.org
I have two paragraphs of text (inside layers) that I would like to have one
on top of the other swapping each other, rotating, something like in a slide
show where each paragraph could have a hyperlink, something like the
photographs that can be seen in the banner on the right hand side (I used a
little program called EasyGIF).
 
See http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for DHTML to do it

Stefan thank you for your very quick response. However, last night I reviewed
that same website that you suggest and did not see anything that could do
what I need, maybe I should look again. I do not need the text to move up or
down. I need to have several paragraphs of text display in the same location
alternating with each other.
 
Create a Flash? Turn the paragraphs into a gif file that Flashes from one
paragraph to another based on a given time frame you set up. It can be a
gif file or Flash Media.

JCO thanks. That is exactly what I had in mind, but how do I do it? Do I
need a special tool or program? Please let me hear from you again? I tried
doing the paragraphs in Power Point, save them in JPG but them what?

I don't know if this is the best method but I've used "ULead GIF Animator
5".
You can Google ULead and see what they have. I think you can download and
use the GIF Animator. Not sure what version they have for free use. With
this tool, you can create animation. In your case, the animation can simply
be the two paragraphs of text. You might not even have to convert to
graphics, because Gif Animator might take care of that for you. I know when
you finalize your production, you can crate a "Flash Media" format or Gif
File format as your output.

Let me know how that works for you. Again, I'm no expert in this type of
stuff but it might be your answer.

JCO if you go to http://www.bradpaisley.com/
and look at Headline News, that is what I am trying to do.
I downloaded Ulead GIF Animator 5 (Trial) and have not been able to do what
I want.

I am coming in late, but I would have thought that this can be done using a
simple rotate image application. This needs just a bit of JavaScript to do
the rotation.

Here is an example which can be adapted as needed

<html>
<head>

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Amended by Trevor Lawrence http://trevorl.mvps.org/ -->

<script language="JavaScript">
var interval = 2.5 // delay between rotating images (in seconds)
var random_display = 1 // 0 = no, 1 = yes
interval *= 1000

var image_list1 = new Array(
new imageItem("images/1.jpg"),
new imageItem("images/2.jpg")
)

var image_list2 = new Array(
new imageItem("images/3.jpg"),
new imageItem("images/4.jpg")
)

var image_list3 = new Array(
new imageItem("images/5.jpg"),
new imageItem("images/6.jpg")
)

var image_list = new Array(image_list1,image_list2,image_list3)
var image_index = new Array(0,0,0)
var number_of_image = new
Array(image_list[0].length,image_list[1].length,image_list[2].length)

function imageItem(image_location) {
this.image_item = new Image()
this.image_item.src = image_location
}

function getNextImage(j) {
image_index[j] = (random_display) ? Math.floor(Math.random() *
number_of_image[j])
: (image_index[j]+1) % number_of_image[j]
return(image_list[j][image_index[j]].image_item.src)
}

function rotateImage() {
for (var i = 1; i <= image_list.length ; i++)
{
var place = "rImage" + i
document[place].src = getNextImage(i-1)
document[place].title = 'image' + i
}
setTimeout("rotateImage('" +place +"')", interval)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="rotateImage()">

<center>
<img name="rImage1" src="" width=120>
<img name="rImage2" src="" width=120>
<img name="rImage3" src="" width=120>
