Hi Spencer,

if it would be there I would have known it earlier.
I had a talk with the Developer who implemented this. But this feature came in very late and missed the deadline for being documented.
It was intended to relief the fact that only 3 out of the box placeholder controls are shipped with the product.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

Great info! Although I couldn't get it right...
If I create a new posting with my template, is it supposed to have the attachment (the flash file) pre-selected? Because mine still says "no attachment set", which makes it just a normal single attachment placeholder... Where am I going wrong?

In authoring mode it is a normal Attachment Placeholder control. You need to select the flash file and save the page.
Then - in presentation mode - the flash will be displayed and run rather than shown as attachment.

Understood. Thanks!

Just one more thing...
How can I make the web form the size of the flash placeholder only? i.e. - not maximized like it is, but only as big as the flash movie itself? Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

The size needs to be given at the object tag and embedd tag as shown above.

Cheers,
Stefan.

How to do this for PDF,Word,PPT's etc

re: Unnecessary custom Placeholder controls

Stefan — Sat, 05 Jun 2004 00:50:00 GMT

For PDF: check out the PDF placeholder control. For Word and PPT you might want to render an IFRAME with a SRC pointing to the document URL.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Is there any way to avoid the <span>..</span> tags that are inserted around the PresentationTemplate?

re: Unnecessary custom Placeholder controls

Stefan — Fri, 11 Jun 2004 06:07:00 GMT

not easy. You could write a HttpModule which removes them. Or a render method in the template.

Yes - but then I might as well write my own custom placeholder control :-/

I have never understood why Microsoft puts <span>-tags around everything.
