  1. Problems with charts in Powerpoint

    Hi, But as far as I am aware this type of functionality does not exist within powerpoint, to dynamically update a temp variable i.e. Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75676" becomes Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75677" becomes Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75678" etc etc In order to do this we would need to talk about custom code in the VBA ?? Thank you Murtagh
  2. Problems with charts in Powerpoint

    Hi, I am displaying my data on a plasma and I would also like to be able to update the data dynamically within the presentation as the data in the XML file changes. I have seen your solution posted above for this however I am a bit confused and perhaps you can clarify : "As for caching issue, can you try adding a constantly changing parameter at end of XML file - like Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75676" from your post it looks like you are recommending that I place an additional variable against the data location :- "&temp=75676" within the flash object and then dynamically change this every time, within the flash object I want to get it to upload new infomation. If this is the case I do not see how this is a solution as the object is static and I do not want to interface with it. Or are you recommending that I dynamically change the source file name update 1: C:FusiionChatsIhavesomedata.xml75676 update 2: C:FusiionChatsIhavesomedata.xml75677 update 3: C:FusiionChatsIhavesomedata.xml75678 but then again I would have have to change the static temp variable within the flash object to reflect this :- "Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75676" "Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75677" "Chart.swf?dataURL=Ihavesomedata.xml&temp=75678" Sorry for this but your solution is not very clear.
