// and create more text animation
// with our new Text Factory.

// Add as many messages as you like
var message=new Array("Hi Webdesigner", "Download our scripts", "Add smashing effects", "Have fun")

// Set the colors of the outline. Add as many outline-colors as you like
var fillcolor=new Array("black", "blue", "#008800", "#EEEEEE","olive")

// Set the fillcolors. Add as many fillcolors as you like 
var outlinecolor=new Array("black","#000088","#666600")

// Set the width of the outline (pixels)
var outlineweight=2

// Set the font
var fnt="Verdana"

// Set the letter that draws the upper part of the circle
var circlemark="-"

// Set the waiting time between the messages (seconds)
var pause=2

// Set the strength of the fillcolor-opacity
var strengthopacity="20%"

// Set the size of the circle. Values may range from 0.1 to 1
var circlesize=0.5

// Do not edit below this line

</script>

Step 3: Go to the top of the script and configure messages, colors, strength of opacity and size.
