Remarks

The Src attribute can involve the following syntaxes:

• URL to external file. The file must be an XML file with the following format:

     <xml xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
     .
     .
     .
     </xml>
  

• Inside the file you must have one or more VML shapes with valid IDs that can be referenced by using this syntax:

     filename#shapename

• In the following reference, external files have the .vml extension, but any extension can be used:

     external.vml#image01

• You can reference a shape within the same file by using the following syntax:

     #shapename

If Clip is False, the shape will scale to fit the frame. If True, any parts of the shape that are outside the frame will not be displayed.

Note that Origin and Size won't be used unless Clip is True.

VML Standard Attribute

Example

The image defined in the external file will be clipped.

   <v:vmlframe id="frame01" clip="True"
   origin="100pt,100pt" size="50pt,50pt"
   src="external.vml#shape01"
   style='position:relative;
   top:160pt; left:100pt; width:50pt; height:50pt'
   </v:vmlframe>
