# Graphical Panel Controls: Flash Control

The Flash control allows you to embed a Shockwave Flash object to customize the look and feel of a graphical panel. Vehicle Spy ships with several Flash controls that you can use as gauges and knobs in your panel setups; these are found in the **ICS Flash Files** subfolder under the main Vehicle Spy 3 install directory. Examples of these are shown in Figure 1.

Table 1 describes the single unique property for the Flash Control. A list of additional properties can be found under [Common Control Properties](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tools/graphical-panel-controls-common-control-properties.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tools/graphical-panel-controls-flash-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
