Formatting a Flash gadget
Like the Flash and standard chart builders, the Flash gadget builder provides a separate page for formatting tasks. Figure 14‑3 shows an example of the Format Gadget page displaying the general properties for a linear gauge.

Format Gadget lists formatting properties of each visual part of a gadget. As Figure 14‑4 shows, for a linear gauge, you can format its scale, needle, numbers, regions, ticks, thresholds, and so on. Each gadget has a different set of formatting properties, which change specific aspects of the gadget’s appearance.
