Thanks for that, Dan, but I'd actually mistyped. I wanted the closing
tag to still execute, just skipping the body. Not surprisingly, I was
also writing a caching tag, the difference being that the cached
content were generated Flash movies, so the "output" operation (which
takes place in the close tag) is rather cumbersome and I didn't really
want to UDF it so I could call it in both starting and ending tags.
However, I ended up doing exactly that, and it'll work. Just seems
like a bit of a language shortcoming to me. In psuedo-code:
<cfif thistag.executionmode EQ "start">
<cffunction name="writeFlash">
<!--- generate EMBED, OBJECT, PARAM, etc. --->
</cffunction>
<cfif cached>
<cfset writeFlash() />
<cfexit method="exittag" />
</cfif>
<cfelse>
<!--- do cache the generated movie --->
<cfset writeFlash() />
</cfif>
cheers,
