If you have not done so already please login to the site and download the newest version of the MoeFade Module. For help installing the module please visit the "Installing a Module in Joomla 1.5" documentation.
By now you should have the MoeFade module installed on your site. I will not help you setup the parameters needed to get the scroll box looking and working the way you would like it to.
Step 1: Login to the administration backend of your web site and open the "Module Manager"
Step 2: Find the module entitled "MoeFade for Joomla 1.5" and click on the name to Edit the module.
You should now be looking at the "Edit Module" screen and see a list of Parameters on the right that look like the image below. Note that your list may look a little bit different depending on what version of MoeFade you are using but the parameter descriptions will still apply.
Here is a list of the parameters and their descriptions
MoeFade Parameters
