ImageRoll is a vertical animated image scroller with a wide range of control and interactivity options. ImageRoll can display an unlimited number of images in a vertical 'strip', scrolling them at your chosen speed. Each image can have a text caption, wrapped automatically onto multiple lines as needed.
Options are included that allow the scroll direction and/or speed to change according to mouse movement, and scrolling can be paused if the user moves into the center of the strip (you can choose how tall this invisible area should be).
Every image can act as a link to a particular URL or execute a JavaScript method when clicked. If images are too wide to be displayed in the applet, ImageRoll will scale them by ratio to prevent distorting them. You can also choose to have all images automatically grayscaled, with the full-color image shown only when the mouse moves over it. The spacing between images, background color, selector color and many other options are editable.
Finally, ImageRoll can display vertical panoramic images. If you allow the user to change scroll direction by moving the mouse toward the top or bottom of the applet, the user can pan upward and downward through the panorama.
