Flash features consist of geometric shapes which have associated with them attributes as part of their definition.
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), all Flash features contain a flash_type attribute, which identifies the geometric type. All element types also have a color associated with it. All coordinate points and line widths are in twips instead of pixels, where 20 twips = 1 pixel. Depending on the geometric type, the feature contains additional attributes specific to the geometric type. Note that points are a subset of area, circles are a subset of ellipse and most polygons and closed shapes fall into the area category. Additional attributes are described in subsequent sections. Here are the common attributes of all flash features.
Note: For closed areas that can hold a URL, the URL can only be active if the area has not been rotated, so it both are specified, the rotation takes precedence.

flash_type
|
The Flash geometric type of this entity. Range: flash_point| flash_line| flash_text| flash_area| flash_arc| flash_ellipse Default: No default |
|
flash_linecolor
|
This is a string that represents the color intensities of the element. It is formatted as red, green, blue intensities which range between 0..255 Note: If this attribute is not found, then fme_color will be used. Range: String. (0..255, 0..255, 0..255) Default: String (0,0,0) |
|
fme_linecolor |
This is a string that represents the color intensities of the element. It is formatted as red, green, blue intensities which range between 0..1 This is used as a backup to flash_color. Range: String. (0..1, 0..1, 0..1) Default: String(0,0,0) |
|
flash_linewidth |
This is an integer value representing the width of the line in twips. Range: Integer>=0 Default: 20 |
|
flash_rotation |
This attribute specifies and optional rotation for the shape where the clockwise direction is positive. Range: -360 to 360 degrees Default: 0 |
