Switching to Adobe Flash mode
Beside the Interactive and Editable modes you can display a dashboard in Flash mode. No modification is necessary to the documents: you only need to have the Adobe Flash player installed. Flash visualization is usually slower in the loading phase (due to the size of the SWF components and XML data needed to bootstrap the dashboard), especially if the document contains a lot of data, but offers a whole set of widgets to enrich the user's experience.
Getting ready
Most probably the Flash player is already installed in your PC; if not, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/ and download the appropriate installer for your browser and operating system.
How to do it...
Create a new document based on the Blank Dashboard template:
Add to the Dataset Objects the 28 InternetSales Dashboard report.
From the Insert menu, go to Widgets | Flash and click on Data Cloud.
Draw a rectangle on the top-left part of the root panel.
You will see the same placeholders as when you create...
