Flash Mode lets you access interactive features on a document that are supported by Flash, such as widgets. In Flash mode, you can also perform some data manipulations, such as sorting and pivoting objects on the document.
You can do the following in Flash Mode:
Interact with widgets such as Gauges and Time Series Sliders. For example, you can use the graph controller in the Time Series Slider to select a time range for data.
Sort data in grid reports.
Pivot report objects from rows to columns and columns to rows in grid reports.
Quickly switch between views of a report, such as between Grid view and Graph view.
As a Document Designer, you must be aware that if a graph uses a graph style that is not supported in Flash, the graph is not displayed. See Graph styles supported in Flash Mode.
