Flash Switcher for switching between Flash players. Actually, I don't use this tool yet, but I plan to start using it soon. I just installed it after reading Oliver Merk's post on it. 2. Charles for looking at HTTP traffic. If you aren't using Charles, Service Capture, or something similar, you should download one of them now. It's extremely useful for daily debugging. Charles has some additional features that I like to use, like thhttp://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=206DB1F2-90E7-A47C-87A35663CB24F11D Non-Flash ColdFusion charts are still interactive- July 14, 2008 So this is news to me.

Its a control in the AIR tool set that enables you to display HTML based content in your AIR applications. You can set the "location" property of the mx:HTML control to render a web page within your application, or you can set the htmlText attribute with HTML content to render it within your application.

I've written a lot about this, but I've never been very comfortable with the solution. I feel it's time to gather up all the information I've learned and start steering people away. I'll provide some potential alternatives to iframes at the end of the post. About the IFrame Approach The use of iframes is very clever- by using a special windowing mode of the Flash Player ashttp://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=1F14B806-A510-4032-3AE0CB2138F32934 Using The JasperReports Struts2 Plugin, A Main Report, And A Subreport- July 14, 2008 Introduction My next step in learning how to use JasperReports, is to integrate JasperReports into a Struts2 web application. There is a Struts2 JasperReports plugin (refer 1) that is part of the Struts2 download. Look for the jar named "struts2-jasperreports-plugin-2.0.11.1.jar" in the struts-2.0.11.1lib directory. Using the Struts2 JasperReports plugin it's relatively easy to integrate JasperReports into your web application.
