Note:
In the "Design" view, if you choose to insert an SWF that contains an
embedded movie or sound, you will hear the sound, but you will not see the
movie play. This may cause an echo when you switch to the "Preview" view.
Please consult with your System Administrator to find out how to resolve this
issue, or check the Business Objects support site for more information.

and the format of the data, such as cell, row, or table.
There are three ways to bind data to Flash variables within the SWF object:
