• Flash width in pixels. (500): Width in pixels of the flash movie.
• Flash height in pixels. (500): Height in pixels of the flash movie. 3/4 of width for best results as text is wider.
• Rotation speed percentage. (100): Speed in percentage of the rotation of the tags. Default is 100. 50 would be half speed.

• Ampersands ( & ) can only be used in tags names if there is a space before and after. Example:

    Blank & White
