Actuate BIRT Designer includes a library of Flash objects developed by InfoSoft. This third-party library provides hundreds of Flash objects organized in four categories—charts, power charts, widgets, and maps. If the Flash chart and Flash gadget elements, described in the previous chapter, do not provide the type of chart or gadget that you want to use in a report, look in the Flash object library.
Unlike the Flash chart and Flash gadget elements in the palette, using a Flash object from this library requires programming in JavaScript or Java. Knowledge of XML is also essential.
