Buttons example SWF file location

The Flash export buttons use a Flash swf file to provide their export options. By default, for convenience, the SWF is loaded from the DataTables CDN. However, you can easily set the location of the file to be loaded using the $.fn.dataTable.Buttons.swfPath parameter.

This example shows the swf file being given a specific URL that it should be loaded from.
