Detecting Flash Before Using Flash For Charts

[GaetVa]

Hello

 

We would like to know if it is possible to detect if flash is installed before running charts in flash mod. In case of we have some customers not running flash on their browser, (for instance plug in disabled)

we would like to add the line : FusionCharts.setCurrentRenderer('javascript');

 

is it a way to do this ?

 

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

 

No coding is required, to detect whether Flash Player is installed or not.

 

Using FusionCharts XT(v3.2.2), it gives you the option of either using automatic fallback, wherein the charts figure out the best mode of rendering (either Flash or JavaScript, based on availability of Flash Player), or lets you configure whether to render charts exclusively using JavaScript.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello Swarnam

 

Thanks a lot for your answer. Concerning PowerCharts, as we have v3.2.1 SR1, is the same managed in this version of PowerCharts ?

another problem we have is when we move mouse over for instance a bar chart, it takes a lot of more time to display the tooltip than in flash version

when we go from bar to bar.

Someone has some ideas about this ?

 

When i move the mouse over the bars to display the tooltips, it took sometimes 2 seconds to move the other bar.

 

In the internet page, we have 6 charts (2 bar charts, and 2 pie charts) hidden by flaps. For the bar chart the max bar we have is 20. (for instance if we have only 10 bars, it is quicker)

 

when in flash, we have no problem, moving the mouse over the bars to display the tooltips.

 

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

>> Yes, even for PowerCharts XT pack, no coding is required to detect whether Flash Player is installed or not.

What FusionCharts version are you using? How many data-points you are trying to render for Bar chart?
