Using the Flash object library
 
 
Debugging a Flash object
Because using a Flash object from the Flash object library requires programming and typing XML content, implementation errors are common. To troubleshoot errors, use the following debugging tools:
*The JavaScript debugger in Actuate BIRT Designer. Use this tool to debug the JavaScript code you write when using the dataXML variable to pass data to the Flash object.
*The Eclipse debugger. Use this tool to debug the entire report and the Java classes that the report uses. This tool is useful for debugging the Java class you write when using the dataURL variable to pass data to the Flash object.
*The debug mode provided by Flash objects. Use this method to see the processing that occurs in the Flash object.
Information about using the JavaScript debugger and the Eclipse debugger is provided in the Eclipse Series book, Integrating and Extending BIRT. This section provides instructions for using the debug mode in Flash objects.
