There are two approaches to designing effects for a Flash chart or gadget. You can create one or both of the following effects:
The first approach is typical. For example, you might create one animation effect that draws a chart’s x-axis labels horizontally, and a second animation effect that draws y-axis labels vertically.
Use the second approach to apply the same animation or visual effects to more than one chart or gadget part. For example, to apply the same font properties to the legend title, x-axis labels, and y-axis labels, create an effect with the desired font properties, then apply this effect to the three chart parts. Whenever you need to change the font for these chart parts, you modify a single effect. This approach enables you to reuse and maintain common effects easily.
