Context Menu Killing Browser In Flash 10/linux

Recommended Posts

I reported this in the 3.2 beta period, but I am resubmitting here to make sure it has visibility on the new forums:

 

The right-click context menu kills the browser for our Linux users. To reproduce:

 

1) Go to any fusioncharts 3.2 chart., such as one on this gallery:

http://www.fusioncharts.com/gallery/Category.asp?Column3D

 

2) Right click on the chart.

 

If you are using Linux with Flash Player 10.x, the browser will timeout and crash (Firefox) or do nothing at all (Chrome). Since a large number of our users employ this combination, this may be a showstopper to our adopting fusioncharts.

 

- It seems to affect any 64-bit Flash Player 10, and some combinations of 32-bit Flash Player 10.

 

- Under FusionCharts 3.1, the context menu worked, so this broke between 3.1 and 3.2. Powercharts, which apparently still uses 3.1, still works fine. (try http://www.fusioncharts.com/PowerCharts/charts/drag-node/ in a 64 bit linux browser to see)

Hi,

 

This is a known issue of Linux's Flash Player.

 

As noted above, It did (and still does) work under all Linux combinations I have tried with FusionCharts 3.1, so this problem must be a regression introduced by FusionCharts 3.2

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!smile.gif

 

We are not able to replicate the issue from our end.

 

Could you please confirm the version of operating system and Google chrome you are using to help us to replicate this issue?

Ah yes! I second that. But what about "wMode" related experiment on linux? Lemme see, if we can do it at our labs. But some of you guys do let me know if you get a chance to experiment on it.

Dear User,

 

We are delighted to announce that PowerCharts is now ready for your iPads and iPhones too. We have just released PowerCharts v3.2. Starting v3.2, PowerCharts has HighCharts embedded within it, and offers both Flash and JavaScript (HTML5) charting . The Flash charts are displayed on a majority of devices and the JavaScript charts on devices that do not support Flash, all of it without writing a line of code.

 

Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.

 

5 new chart types:

 

Heat Map Chart

 

Box and Whisker Chart

 

Step Line Chart

 

Error Line Chart

 

Error Scatter Chart

 

 

* Support for JSON data format.

 

* Support for LinkedCharts, where a single data source controls multiple charts.

 

* Interactive legends in charts allow selective showing/hiding of data series.

 

* Legends now support icons for each data series.

 

* Better management of labels on charts.

 

* Labels now have an auto rendering mode to prevent them from overlapping, the chart selects the best display mode depending on the length of the labels and the width of the chart.

 

* Long labels are truncated, with ellipses appended to the truncated end of each label, and a tooltip bearing the completed label text is displayed when the user hovers over a truncated label.

 

* Support for line breaks and wrapping in all text elements including: caption, sub caption, X-axis title, Y-axis title, Labels and tooltips.

 

* In Line charts, data values can now be positioned either above or below the dataplots. Automatic positioning of data values is also supported.

 

* In Step-line charts dataplots can be joined using vertical lines.

 

* Custom alignment of caption and sub caption using STYLES.

 

* Advanced print management using JavaScript.

 

* Additional options for efficient event handling using JavaScript.

 

* Support for dynamic update of chart properties using JavaScript(barring select scatter and drag charts).

 

* Charts now support % based sizes along with dynamic resizing (barring select scatter and drag charts).
