Component Properties

When a component is selected then a component's properties can be changed by pressing the property button

When newly created, a component is already selected. To select a new component the component should be be clicked on or the "Shift selection button" in the toolbar should be pressed. (The Combo-box can only be selected in this latter way.) The properties that can be changed depend on the type of component being edited. Usually these will include:

Defining an action

The action is showing a new webpage in a particular way. The webpage address should be specified as it would be in normal HTML. If it's not an absolute address such as "http://www.kagi.com/equitysoft" then it is treated as being relative to the location of the applets HTML file. Instead of a web address it is of course acceptable to use such URL's as "mailto:equitysoft@iname.com" for e-mail etc.

The adjust menu

All components will have the "Adjust" entry in the property menu. These options relate to component positioning and allow for finer control over the component's placement and size. The "Overall size" option will change the size but keep the existing ratio between width and height.
The "Front/Back" option allows you to change the way components are layered over each other

The default size for images

Images (and movies) have default sizes and there will be a "Reset to default size" entry in the property menu for these components. This will reset the component's size ti whatever the default size is.
