This article describes which Drupal 7 field api hooks one must implement to create fully functional custom field. This field then may be usable on any fieldable object in Drupal 7.

// tells drupal which field(s) your module defines and implements
function hook_field_info() {}

// tells drupal which widgets your module defines and implements
// these widgets may be made available to other fields defined elsewhere (ex, core fields). but for our purpose i will describe how this hook interacts with hook_field_info()
function hook_field_widget_info() {}

The point of this exercise is to learn how to create a 3d object from primitive 2d shapes in Flash ActionScript 3.0.

I added very simple animation effect just to demonstrate that it actually is 3d and rotates.

Note: I left final 6th side out on purpose.

No special instructions to run this code, just drop it into actions editor and preview your movie.

Flash demo is at the bottom of the post, scroll there!

Initially i had difficulty attaching a sprite created inside a class onto the stage. I haven't found documentation yet that explains the right way of doing it but i did stumble onto my own solution. I will not know whether this is the right way of doing it until i find some documentation that explains it. If some one has a tip please leave a comment.

I instantiated my class from the main FLA using the following code passing 'this' into the construct. "This" represents /stage/ in this file :

Attached is visual representation of my research. I've been studying how to optimize drupal for authenticated users (Unlike every other solution out there that focuses on delivering content to anonymous users... that task is easy).

High throughput web architecture with drupal design

Theoretically we can pre-genrate drupal form output and cache it which then will be served instead of regenrating form html on every form view.

Few issues:
1) CSRF tokens make form caching useless.
2) Form action in HTML makes cross-page caching useless because on each page form action is set to be that page's URL.

Possible solutions:
1) Cache based on session_id, which is what the form token is based on
2) We can perform string replacement on the cached form output to correct form action.
