Loading Message

Menu systems can contain a large number of links (which means a large datafile), so we've added the option for Elevator to display a short 'loading' message while it downloads and processes the datafile.

To use this feature, you have to make a change to the HTML code which places the applet on the page. The text required is this:

&ShowLoad=Text to display|000000

Change 'Text to display' to the text you want to display. This should be followed by a pipe symbol (|). Then a hex triplet to set the color of the text.

In your HTML code, you'll find a FlashVars parameter which appears twice. Add the text to the end of both instances of that parameter, immediately before its closing " sign, like this:

<PARAM name="flashvars" value="Copyright=(c) Cool Focus [www.coolfocus.com]&ShowLoad=Loading menu...|000000">
...
flashvars="Copyright=(c) Cool Focus [www.coolfocus.com]&ShowLoad=Loading menu...|000000"

Important: Make sure you don't change the Copyright text in the FlashVars parameters, just add the new text onto the end of it.
