Implements a page ear such as the example at the top of this page.  Music optional

Features

This is an extremely powerful module that presents a "page ear" effect as demonstrated in the upper right corner of this page.  Upon hovering over the page ear, animation opens the page ear to reveal a larger ad.  Upon clicking anywhere on the ad the user is linked to another webpage.

This module also supports custom open and closing sound along with embedded background music like you hear now from this Three Amigos "My Little Buttercup" track.

This module is free and can be installed and configured relatively easily.  The only difficult part is creating your images.

1. Image mirroring
2. Speed control
3. Duration for the page ear to show
4. Fade in control
5. Ear location control
6. Links to a URL
7. Small image and Large image for the ad separation
8. Open and close sound
9. Background music

Disadvantages / Wish List

Maybe I am being too polite but I like my page ear modules simple.  This one is fine the way it is.

Overall Review

How can I go lower than 5?  It's free and easy to use.  Thanks Markit.

Screenshots

You can see (and hear) the module in action here, so here is a look at the edit menu.
