Widgets for wp.com blogs: 9 – scrolling messages

LCD 2

Color customizable; width can be changed (but if you decrease it you lose the right border).

Shortcode:

[gigya src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/widgets/mff-ticker2.swf" flashvars="mycolor=H1&mycolor2=H2&mycolor3=H3&txt=MESSAGE HERE" quality="best" bgcolor="#000000" width="380" height="50" ]

Replace H1, H2, H3 with desired hex color codes for text top, text bottom, and border (for hex codes see “Colors” under Links 1 in my sidebar).
Or visit http://www.myflashfetish.com/myspace-text-scroller.php, select one of the preset color schemes, click Save, copy Embed code, copy-paste resultant hex color codes to above shortcode.

Please don’t paste code in comments – see comment guidelines.

  2. If I were a fan of blinking, scrolling messages, I’d be shaking both your hands right about now. But I have a headache and must lie down. ;-)

  3. It’s great that you keep on offering us new opportunities. Some like ’em and some not – but it’s great to know that they are available for wp.com.

  4. @lilmaouz: Il y aura plus! Bon dimanche etc. etc.!

    @Jennifer: If you’re not a fan, then some of the blinkety-blinks I’ll publish next might give you a headache!

    @NG: Yes, I wouldn’t ever use all that stuff, but they’re all gadgets I’ve seen users ask for (either in the forum or here).

  6. form function phrase
    chaos illustrated

    untended associations

    a quotation from Samuel Beckett about form, chaos, and art.
    27 Nov. post. —Just playing around with the way scrolling words add an element of time to ‘print’ in a way different from spoken words.

  11. Best Tips..I Like it

  12. Hi and Happy New Year!

    @harry: Yes, unfortunately most of these things have a limit to the number of characters they can accommodate. Changing the dimensions changes the overall size only (if the widget is resizable).

    @arif & RS: You’re welcome!

  13. ok panos thank you

    Posted by harrythehandyman | January 4, 2011, 21:18
  14. You’re welcome, Harry – sorry I don’t have a solution.

  15. Is there any way to get a scrolling message across the header in the INove theme? Thanks for all your great work! I’ve been able to use a lot of your stuff.

    Posted by Josh Paunil | July 22, 2011, 19:57
  16. No, because it can’t be exactly positioned – see here:
    https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/position-absolute-pt-2/
    Best thing you can do is put it up top in the sidebar.

    Posted by Panos | July 23, 2011, 04:49
  17. Thanks your response, I appreciate all the stuff you’ve posted on here, I didn’t even know a lot of it was possible!

    Posted by Josh Paunil | July 25, 2011, 06:25
  18. For some reason the whole message isn’t displayed, only part of it is, is there a character limit or something?

    Posted by Josh Paunil | July 25, 2011, 12:29
  19. You’re welcome. Yes, most of these gadgets have a character limit. Which one did you try?

    Posted by Panos | July 25, 2011, 14:22
  20. I tried LCD 1, about to try the rest to see which has the longest character limit!

    Posted by Josh Paunil | July 26, 2011, 08:20
  21. When I try LCD 3, only the first letter of each word shows up (on iNove), do you know why?

    Posted by Josh Paunil | July 26, 2011, 08:31
  22. LCD1 seems to be limited to 18 characters, LCD3 to 22. LCD2 seems unlimited. Didn’t try the other three.

    As for your second question, I didn’t know but I do now: it displays capitals only.
