<p>Why the Flash Charts are removed in the Actuate BIRT Designer Professional v4.2? These are available in the v3.7.</p>

<p>Your designs should still work as the resources are still there but you should not be using them anymore. This is because you should be using HTML5 charts (just a chart type in the regular chart builder) instead. Flash is not recommended as it is not supported in all browsers (Chrome).</p>

<p>Flash is also not recommended because a variety of mobile devices do not support Flash.</p>

<p>BIRT Designer Professional v4.2 is iHub 3. If you <strong>must </strong>use Flash in BIRT Designer Professional in iHub3 or 3.1, you can still use the "Flash Object" report item. Then choose "Flash Object Library", and click on the Folder icon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You'll be able to select from Flash Charts, Flash Maps, Flash PowerCharts, and Flash Widgets. They are based on the Fusion Charts library (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
http://www.fusioncharts.com/charts/'>http://www.fusioncharts.com/charts/</a>)
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">/resources/Flash Object Library/Flash Charts/Marimekko.swf</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">/resources/Flash Object Library/Flash Charts/StackedColumn3D.swf</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">/resources/Flash Object Library/Flash PowerCharts/HeatMap.swf</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">/resources/Flash Object Library/Flash Widgets/Gantt.swf</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The only downside is there is no UI to wire the data and you'll need to build the dataXML variable found in the Flash Object library Property > Flash Variables.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For example, the equivalent of this Fusion Chart example (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
http://www.fusioncharts.com/charts/mscolumn2d_7/'>http://www.fusioncharts.com/charts/mscolumn2d_7/</a>)
is attached. </p>

<p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you Clement Wong and Mica.J.Block. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If I want to apply different series pallette colors for the Flash object(consider a funnel chart), how can i do that? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I can able to set the data used by dataXML variable.</span></p>

<p>Take a look at the code of the first funnel example @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
