Insert Node Parameter: plain (6-1.2) [no content]

Alexis Wilke — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 06:52:33 +0000

The plain keyword is used to avoid having the content being inserted put inside a tag. By default, the content is inserted inside a <span> or a <div> tag (<span> is used if the output does not include <div>, <p> and other such tags.)

Although one could overload the theme_InsertNode_node() theme function, it is at times practical to be able to use both methods.

The plain keyword does not otherwise generate any output.

This keyword primary use is for adding CCK parameters inside HTML code as proposed by one of our users (see here):

Sprite Properties

The following is the list of currently accepted properties or fields for the Get Property and the Set Property actions. Note that the properties can be specified with either an integer (type 7, requires V5.0+) or a single precision floating point (type 1, V4.0 compatible). And since strings are automatically transformed in a value when required, one can use a string to represent the property number (type 0).

^*the version specified here is the version in which the tags appeared—however, actions of higher versions can be used with older version tags and thus this version doesn't indicate the version of all the actions used in this tag

The DoABC and DoABCDefine are available since version 9. These are similar to the old DoAction and DoInitAction, yet the actions use a way different declaration scheme and they include flags and a name. This new scheme helps greatly in simplifying the definitions of ECMAScript classes and accelerate the access to the code tremendously.

FileAttributes

Alexis Wilke — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:28:20 +0000

Tag Info

Tag Number:

69

Tag Type:

Format

Tag Flash Version:

8

Tag Structure:

struct swf_fileattributes { swf_tag f_tag; /* 69 */ unsigned f_reserved : 3; unsigned f_has_metadata : 1; unsigned f_allow_abc : 1; /* since V9.0 */ unsigned f_suppress_cross_domain_caching : 1; /* since V9.0 */ unsigned f_swf_relative_urls : 1; /* since V9.0 */ unsigned f_use_network : 1; unsigned f_reserved : 24; };

The FileAttributes tag is new to version 8. It must be present in all movies version 8 and over. It must be the very first tag in the SWF movie. It should be unique (other instances will be ignored.)

The f_has_metadata flag shall be set to 1 whenever the movie includes a Metadata tag.

About SWF

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:53:32 +0000

Brief History

At the very beginning, a company created the SWF format to generate small vector animations on the Internet called Shockwave Flash (hence the name of the format, SWF.) It also included images. This company was bought by Macromedia around 1997 (if I recall properly). This is when Flash v3 was created. Since then, Macromedia created a new version about once a year up to version 8. At that time (in 2005/2006), Macromedia sealed a deal with Adobe which wanted to use the SWF format in their PDF files.
