Disables the effect and removes the script from the HTML source.

Left

Right

Makes the layer contents flow upward.

Down

Makes the layer contents flow downward.

Behavior

Select the type of effect.

Unidirectional scroll

The layer contents will scroll in the specified direction until all of the contents have moved across the full length of the layer. If the number of repetitions is greater than 1, the process will repeat as many times as specified.

Bidirectional scroll

The layer contents will scroll in the specified direction until the “last” of the contents has just come into view. Then they will scroll in the opposite direction until the “first” of the contents has again come into view. This process is repeated continuously; the value specified in Repetitions is ignored.

Sequential scroll

The layer contents will scroll in the specified direction until the “first” of the contents reaches the “far” side of the layer, then the contents will disappear all at once. This process will be repeated as many times as specified in Repetitions.

Scroll stride

Specify the size of the steps in the scrolling motion of the marquee. For example, if you enter 5, the marquee will scroll five pixels at a time. The larger the value, the faster the contents will scroll.

Scroll delay

Specify, in thousandths of a second, the amount of time between the scrolling motion steps. For example, if you enter 100, the marquee will scroll one step every 1/10th of a second. Smaller values enable faster scrolling. The minimum value is 10.

Visible length

Specify the length of the marquee. (“Length” means width if the marquee scrolls horizontally; height if it scrolls vertically.) If you set the visible length to be shorter than the layer’s actual length, you will not be able to see all the contents at once. Click the Fit to Layer button to make the visible length the same as the width or height of the layer.

Namo Web Editor icon note Marquee dialog boxFor a bidirectionally scrolling marquee to work correctly, the visible length must be longer than the actual length of the layer. If the visible length is equal to the actual length, all of the contents are continually in view, thereby not realizing the scrolling effect.

Repetitions

Specifies the number of times the scrolling effect will repeat.

-1

The marquee effect will repeat continuously.

0

Disables the marquee effect.

1 or more

Repeats as many time as specified.

Namo Web Editor icon note Marquee dialog boxFor Sequential scroll, if ‘-1′ is entered in Repetitions, the effect will run no more than once. If the value is ’1′ or more, it will repeat as many time as specified.
