Data Refresh on .swf file without Xcelsius installation.

Hi
This is the case:
I have made a dashboard for my Boss with Xcelsius 2008. He was impressed.
I put the .swf and the .xls files in a folder on his pc's desctop.
Now he wants to be able to refresh the .swf on demand with a button or something else, when he changes the .xls.
There is no Xcelsius installation on his pc.
Is there any solution? free or not!
Thanks.

Take a look at this thread.
xcelsius xml map connection error [local xml file]
He is trying to refresh dashboard from a local file. You can think about keeping your xml at a network location which is accessible from Boss's machine and use the excel xml map connection to get it refreshed.
You can also write some scheduled program which will refresh the xml file on daily basis.

Passing data parameter between SWF files

Hello Xcelsius Gurus,
Is it possible to pass data parameter between SWF files?
If possible, how to achieve it?
Thank you.
Justine

Hi,
Thank you for the reference. Little bit confused, please let me clarify.
I do not understand how the receiver SWF receieved the data parameter and process.
For example, I have a parent dashboard and a child dashboard. In the parent dashboard, I have set up combo box to filter the data. And I want the data that I have selected in combo box to the child dashboard.
To do this, first I need to setup the flash variable at the parent dashboard to fetch the data I selected.
After this, how to link this data to the child dashboard?
Furthermore, after the child dashboard received the data parameter, I need this data to insert into the spreadsheet so I can filter the data. Is this possible?
Thanks.

Export table data in a flat file without using FL

Hi,
I am looking for options where I can export table data into a flat file without using FL(File Layout) i.e., by using App Engine only.
Please share your experience if you did anything as this
Thanks

A simple way to export any record (table/view) to an csv fiel, is to create a rowset and loop through all record fields, like below example code
Local Rowset &RS;
Local Record &Rec;
Local File &MYFILE;
Local string &FileName, &strRecName, &Line, &Seperator, &Value;
Local number &numRow, &numField;
&FileName = "c:\temp\test.csv";
&strRecName = "PSOPRDEFN";
&Seperator = ";";
&RS = CreateRowset(@("Record." | &strRecName));
&RS.Fill();
&MYFILE = GetFile(&FileName, "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
   For &numRow = 1 To &RS.ActiveRowCount
      &Rec = &RS(&numRow).GetRecord(@("RECORD." | &strRecName));
      For &numField = 1 To &Rec.FieldCount
         &Value = String(&Rec.GetField(&numField).Value);
         If &numField = 1 Then
            &Line = &Value;
         Else
            &Line = &Line | &Seperator | &Value;
         End-If;
      End-For;
      &MYFILE.WriteLine(&Line);
   End-For;
End-If;
&MYFILE.Close(); You can of course create an application class for generic calling this piece of code.
Hope it helps.
Note:
Do not come complaining to me on performance issues ;)

Problem in scheduling data refresh of excel file that uses PowerPivot

I think I have successfully created and enabled the gateway and data sources for refresh - they are both seeming to connect. However, when I try to schedule a data refresh to occur in the PowerBI site for the Excel file I receive an error message
that the connection could not be established and receive error message "Correlation ID: d118ab93-436d-44a9-8c09-564f64fe0c58". Appreciate any assistance in figuring out how to resolve. Thanks a lotl

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Data refresh of Excel file on Sharepoint 2013 Online (E3)

Is it possible to refresh data in an Excel PowerPivot model from external data (SQL Server 2012) on the
SharePoint 2013 Online solution that comes with the Office365 E3 plan?
I need to either have the Excel file itself on the public facing website with data refresh there, or possibly have the Excel file in a private Business Intelligence Center subsite and then publish webparts or whatever on the public site, as long as the charts
are refreshed and publicly viewable. I've found a lot of conflicting info on this.
Re
D

Currently, when a workbook that contains a Data Model is published to a library in Office 365, data refresh is unavailable.
However, you can use a PowerShell script to configure a workaround.

How to play a swf file without a browser

I know it sounds bizzare, but not all machine have a
compatible browser installed. I was using flash player stand alone
version for playback of swf files. But, flash player 9 will only
install if I have a browser installed.
I can still play swf file on a machine with a browser, but
the swf file does not come in with a built in playback control, so
I have to watch the video without a playback control.
Is there anyway I can download a standalone version of
flashplayer, just like flashplayer 5.

Yes, because it is in Players\ subdirectory!

It's very ugly way for those who never tried to dig into

Any solution for swf file without url link embedded?

As a long shot just thought I would ask.
Received a swf file which needs to be linked to a url address BUT the company that produced it has not embedded the link in the .fla file!!!!!
In the past I seem to remember there is not a way to link the swf via html or maybe so but only via javascript or some complex solution. Is this still the case or has someone found an elegant solution to the issue in recent times?
Thanks

Hi Os -
Can you get the fla file?
Hi Ken,
Unfortunately not. If I could I don't think it would be much help as I'm out of touch with Flash. I used to dabble around in Flash a bit years ago but didn't persist as I thought it required a bit more time to really get to know than I could give it.
I know it's a relatively simple procedure to add a getURL frame to the .fla file as I done it myself in the past. Not sure why whoever did it hasn't included the link as it's an advert to attract people to a certain url.
I guess they will just have to sort it themsleves.
Thanks for replying. Just though things move quickly and some genius might have discovered a way to add a link without having to resort to the .fla file.

Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option

Hi,
I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.

This question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

Creating single .swf file without border causes control bar jump

If the goal is creating a single .swf file and the answer is
to simply uncheck the border checkbox, there's a small problem. If
there is a Captivate control bar -- in my case a full length
stretched one -- it will ride up and over the Captivate movie,
covering some of the movie. In my case the control bar is riding up
and over several buttons referenced in the project, screwing things
up considerably.
How can we keep the control bar from riding up -- or more
specifically perhaps being loaded over top of the project -- such
that it obscures part of the project?
Quick answers would be really fantastic!
Thanks!

Thanks Paul,
That did work. I use a pretty stripped down control bar so
adding in 27 pixles works. A cohort mentioned that Captivate 1
required a similar work around -- though it only produced a single
file. It'd have been nice to have known before her co-worker.
It's too bad there's not some verbage somewhere -- maybe in
the help -- that explains that adding a control bar to an exisiting
project will result in the toolbar obscuring some of the project --
how much depending on the size of the control bar.
It'd be great to have a little checkbox that would allow the
project to expand the exact number of needed pixels so that the
project and control bar were nearly mated together.
To come full circle, after I've done this and gotten the two
together, I have to resize again -- this time down -- for my
project.
So after making it bigger to fit the control bar, I resize it
again to make it smaller, make adjustments to the text -- which
doesn't seem to scale -- and to the caption boxes that don't mate
exactly anymore and publish. What I found is that the file size is
now closer to the original "larger" project file.
I find this curious, as I was finding when the control bar
was on top of the project before learning this workaround that the
file size for a smaller resolution project was actually turning out
larger. That never made sense to me.
After the workaround, it's actually close to the same size.
Thanks for your help!

Can I save data to a text file without the browser?

Hello Everyone,
I have a stand alone application that would run without a
browser on desktop. I would like to write data to a text or
database (MYSQL/PHP). Would it be possible for me to extend this
functionality to a AS3 Stand Alone Application which would be
strictly running on desktop?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Look into AIR. It has more capabilities than Flash regarding
to writing info to disk including an SQLite database.
You can create AIR fils with the Flash and Flex IDEs.

How do I add data to an existing file, without having to create a new one?

Hi,
I made a servlet which is supposed to write the word "new" in a file everytime the server creates an instance:
File chatInfos = new File("LOCATION_OF_THE_FILE/infos.dat");
   if(chatInfos.exists()) {
    try {
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(chatInfos);
    ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    os.writeObject("new");
    os.close();
    fos.close();
    } catch(IOException e){};
   }But it doesnt work. It seems like that every time the old file is destroyed and a new one is created. But I dont want that. I simply want to add a new object to the file.
thanx

Can I Write Data to a *.xlxsx File Without Screwing Up the Excel File Formatting?

I'd like to programatically add LabVIEW-generated data to a nicely-formatted *.xlsx file, one with all the right borders and column widths, etc. But every time I try to add the LabVIEW data, the xlsx file formatting gets all screwed up and the file gets corrupted. Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Why does Bridge CS6 destroy my SWF files after inputting Meta Data?

I save a swf file to my hard drive. Then I open Bridge, select the swf file, and type some Meta Data into the panel on the right. As soon as the data saves and the preview window refreshes, the preview renders completely white (Bridge can no longer preview it). If I open the file in Flash, some layers and text are now missing.
It seems that the act of writing meta-data to the swf file actually destroys portions of the file, and I have to go back to the original and re-export.
We have reproduced this problem on both Mac & PC, on swf files of varying compression & XMP settings. It is fairly consistent.
Has anyone run into this and if so does anyone have any suggestions?

Not a expert on swf files, but this article says you can not use Bridge to add metadata to SWF files. So maybe that is why you are running into problems. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/190/862442
