Easier way to embed fusionchart into page

[wolfgang]

In the documentation of fusioncharts you recommend to use a combination of the tags embed and object. This combination works in most cases but does not allow a validation as xhtml.

 

I found a W3C recommendation (details at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay) which gave me the following solution:

 

------

 

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" width="800" height="400">

 

<param name="FlashVars" value="&dataXML=[%put XML here%]" />

 

<param name="movie" value="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" />

 

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

 

</object>

 

-----

 

I also added the param 'wmode' which allows for easier interaction with layers (like javascript-powered menus).

 

I have not seen any problems with FF, IE7/IE8 or Opera 9.x at this time.

 

Maybe other users will like this too

Check also the following link on the precise meaning of wmode:

After reading this I changed the wmode from transparent to opaque in my newer applications (less load on the cpu)

Wolfgang, you make me very happy! Thank you for sharing!

I found that when I use this method, the "Save" button does not appear anymore

when I export a chart to say, jpg.

Any ideas how to make this work?

Hi,

 

 

 

To be more accurate you would need to pass lot more things to the flashVars

 

 

 

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" width="800" height="400" id="myChartId">

 

<param name="FlashVars" value="&dataXML=[%put XML here%]&registerWithJS=1&DOMId=myChartId&chartWidth=800&chartHeight=400&debugMode=0" />

 

<param name="movie" value="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" />

 

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

 

</object>

Hi,

 

 

 

Welcome to the FusionCharts Forum. :w00t:

 

 

 

Could you please specify what issue you are facing with the C#.net codes when using FusionCharts for Free?

[phido]

Hi. I think I'm close to successfully applying this, but suspect I'm not properly specifying the dataXML [%put XML here%] value, since i keep getting a "No data to display" error message. Say, that relative to the chart page I'm creating the data is at: data/MSLine.xml.

 

 

 

Is it correct to replace the entire [%put XML here%] statement with data/MSLine.xml? No quotes, etc.

Hi,

 

 

 

Welcome to FusionCharts forum.

 

 

 

In FusionCharts the entire XML code is written inside the "[]" for dataXML method.

 

 

 

Ref.- chart.setDataXML("the XML code");

 

 

 

Could you please try it by writting your XML code for dataXML method inside the "[]"?

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hello,

If you are using the dataXML method please refer to the code below:

 

myChart.setDataXML("<chart caption='Monthly Sales Summary' subcaption='For the year 2006' xAxisName='Month' yAxisName='Sales' numberPrefix='$'><set label='January' value='17400' /><set label='February' value='19800' /><set label='March' value='21800' /><set label='April' value='23800' /><set label='May' value='29600' /><set label='June' chart>");

If you opt to use the dataURL method please refer to the code below:

 

myChart.setDataURL("data/MSLine.xml");

Hope this helps.
