Data.xml Being Requested On Linked Chart

I created a linked chart like this:

javascript:

  var myChart = new FusionCharts( "../chart/media/swf/fusioncharts/Column2D.swf",
                    "myChartId", "320", "250", "0", "1" );
  myChart.setXMLUrl("summary-data.xml");
  myChart.render('warehouse-content');

 

summary-data.xml

  <chart caption="Yearly Sales" xAxisName="Year" yAxisName="Sales">
    <set label="2004" value="37800" link="newchart-xmlurl-summary-data1.xml" />
    <set label="2005" value="21900" link="newchart-xmlurl-summary-data1.xml" />
    <set label="2006" value="32900" link="newchart-xmlurl-summary-data1.xml" />
    <set label="2007" value="39800" link="newchart-xmlurl-summary-data1.xml" />
  </chart>

 

When I click on the a bar in the chart it successfully makes a request to summary-data.xml, but it looks like the flash object is also making a request to Data.xml(according to firebug). I never specified anywhere to have the javascript or flash make a request to Data.xml as far as I can tell. Could someone tell me why this request is being made and more importantly how to make it stop?

I've attached a screen shot of Firefox after clicking on the chart twice.

It would not let me attach attach a javascript file or php file, even after I changed there extensions. Here is the code for those:

 

Javascript

Ext.onReady(function(){
 var myChart = new FusionCharts( "../chart/media/swf/fusioncharts/Column2D.swf", "myChartId", "320", "250", "0", "1" );
  myChart.setXMLUrl("summary-data.xml");
  myChart.render('warehouse-content');

});

 

PHP/HTML

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

  <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-3.3.0/ext-all-debug.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-3.3.0/ux/LockingGridView.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-3.3.0/ux/Ext.ux.GridPrinter.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-3.3.0/ux/Ext.ux.GridExportXLS.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="../chart/media/js/fusioncharts/FusionCharts.debug.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="warehouse_metric_dashboard.js"></script>

  <div id="warehouse-content"></div>


</head>
<body>
<div style="margin-left:0; margin-top:0" id='temp'></div>
</body>
</html>

 

I grep'ed for Data.xml and found this in fusioncharts.debug.js:

3322         // Set initial state of charts
3323         if (obj.options.dataFormat === undefined && obj.options.dataSource === undefined) {
3324             obj.options.dataFormat = FusionChartsDataFormats.XMLURL;
3325             obj.options.dataSource = 'Data.xml';
3326         }

but since the request is not an XMLHTTP request I don't believe this is the problem, further more the condition should fail because options.dataSource and options.dataFormat are defined(I checked). This is the only instance of Data.xml in my entire source.

I saw about nesting linked chart example, I do not want to go that direction because of the overhead of generating all that xml.

 

According to the docs you should be able to link through a url. Here is what the docs say.

 

Thanks.

I've attached another screen shot with the debug window on so you can see the warning.

 

Here is new javascript I tried also:

Ext.onReady(function(){
  var myChart = new FusionCharts( "../chart/media/swf/fusioncharts/Column2D.swf", "myChartId", "320", "250", "0", "1" );
  myChart.setXMLUrl("summarydata.xml");
  myChart.render('warehouse-content');
  var config = {'debugMode':1,'dataXML':'summarydata.php'};//I tried 'dataSource' and 'dataURL' instead of 'dataXML' also
  FusionCharts('myChartId').configureLink([config,config]);

});

Hi,

 

Could you please send us the html and XML files together in zip format to look into the issue?

 

Awaiting for your reply.

here is a simple test zip. All it has is the fusionchart.debug.js, a instance of a fusionchart and 2 xml files, for the linked chart. It is still experiencing the same issue. I believe it is a flash problem.

I went ahead and started implementing my solution, still getting a warning where it looks like the flash is making a request to data.xml, even though it fetches the correct xml.

 

Attached is the resulting screen shot of the warning i'm getting for the following xml:

NOTE: the graph makes a request to the proper url, but it seems the flash isn't detecting the datasource part of the link.

<chart numberPrefix="" labelDisplay="Rotate" slantLabels="1" exportEnabled="1" exportAtClient="0" exportAction="save" exportFileName="ExportedChart" showExportDialog="1" exportHandler="/chart/export" setAdaptiveYMin="1" formatNumberScale="0" decimals="0" showValues="1" caption="Reg/OT Hours Worked">
<categories>
<category label="2010" />
<category label="2011" />
</categories>
<dataset seriesName="regular hours">
<set seriesName="regular hours" link="newchart-xmlurl-warehouse_metric_dashboard_backend.php?chart=whse_reg_ot_hours" label="2010" value="6283.20" />
<set seriesName="regular hours" link="newchart-xmlurl-warehouse_metric_dashboard_backend.php?chart=whse_reg_ot_hours" label="2011" value="0.00" />
</dataset>
<dataset seriesName="overtime hours">
<set seriesName="overtime hours" label="2010" value="311.10" />
<set seriesName="overtime hours" label="2011" value="0.00" />
</dataset>
</chart>

I have sent and resent the code to replicate this problem, see the zip file above. I'm getting tired of this run around, just please just stick and engineer and resolve the problem.

Nudge, has this been fixed?

 

Since their links parse hyphens a little differently, you might try to rename your files without them. Shot in the dark, but it might help.
