This tag is mostly used to define media servers and fonts.
The type attribute
indicates which kind of option is being set.
Specifying a remote media server:
<option
type='server'
policy='http://www.example.com/crossdomain.xml'
/>
Specifying a custom font:
<option
type='font'
id='freesans'
url='PATH/TO/FONT.swf@FreeSans'
/>
An option tag is required for each font id referenced in a control
or media tag's
font attribute. Advanced antialias mapping options can be turned
on for a font by specifying the antialias
attribute and adding sub tags for each map:
<option
antialias='advanced'
type='font'
...
/>
<aliasmap incut='255' outcut='255' size='8' />
<aliasmap incut='0' outcut='0' size='14' />
</option>
For the most precise control, a separate tag can be included for each different size
that will be used. Keep in mind that font size for media items is defined as a percentage of the
mash height, so the size attribute in the map must be scaled accordingly. Only
integer values are used for font sizes so the result will be rounded.
