Chart renders slowly when not in view

[muzzs]

Hi,

 

 

 

I have a situation where I am needing to render charts automatically, I have a page which only displays charts -and uses javascript to upload a rendered image to the server using the FCExporter. When all the charts have finished the upload the window closes automatically.

 

 

 

All this works fine. My problem is that when the chart is not actually visible on the screen it renders the image really slowly (Approximately a 5x increase). This is a massive issue as I need the charts to render while the user is doing something else so the charts can't be within the users view.

 

 

 

From what I can tell - this issue happens if the window is behind another, minimised or scrolled to a different point on the screen so the charts aren't in the view. I am using IE 7, I am not using the latest version of IE for other reasons.

 

 

 

I would think this is a "feature" of Flash to give processor and memory priority to and movies currently on screen, however it is a massive problem in my situation. Do you know of any way to get round this? Is there a parameter I can put in the flash object to tell it to run at full speed even when not visible?

 

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Regards,

Hey Murray,

 

As you might have guessed, this is completely a browser-Flash compatibility and co-relative issue. Using FusionCharts v3.2, you can use, the all new, Print Manager functionality. However, this is only for Mozilla based browsers. More on this at:

I hope this helps.
