Just like the other report elements, you can insert a Flash object directly in the report page or in any of the container elements, which is the typical case. The location depends on various factors, including the position of the Flash object relative to other report elements, or whether the Flash object shares data in a data set that is used by other elements. For information about laying out a report, see BIRT: A Field Guide.
