Flash object components
Essentially, the Flash object library is a collection of Shockwave Flash (SWF) files that generate Flash charts, gadgets, or maps based on data and configuration settings provided in XML format. Each Flash object used in a report comprises the following components:
An SWF file, which is a ready-to-use chart, gadget, or map
XML data, which defines the data values and properties for rendering the Flash chart, gadget, or map
The Flash object library provides the SWF files. You provide the XML data in the format required by the Flash object.
