Values for followspeed and followrate

Please note that official support for this menu version has now ceased. There are still plenty of users, though, and the forum is still running. Some of our long-time users may be able to help you out.

Values for followspeed and followrate

Post by slowhandz »

Hi,

For those of us using a Follow Scrolling menu,
(aka: Always Available)
http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/menusampl ... ampleid=11

I've always wondered what CHANGING these values does:

Code: Select all

followspeed=5    // Follow Scrolling Speed
followrate=40    // Follow Scrolling Rate
For example, the followspeed...
is 10 FASTER or SLOWER than 5 ?

Same thing for followrate...
is 50 slower or faster than 40?

Is there a minimum... (i.e. is 1 valid ?)

The values above (5, 40) are the default
settings in the download, but it would
be nice to know what changing these values
actually does.

Any help here would be appreciated... (Andy?)

Documentation?

Cheers,

Steve

followrate is the number of milliseconds between executing the scrolling code. If you set this to 1000 you would see increments of 1 second.

followspeed is the number of jumps in pixels the menu makes at each interval.

The above will be completely re-written in version 4 of the menu, I've no idea how yet but it will change as the current system is a little buggy

Hope this helps
Andy
