SWF LOADER COMPONENT and then use the following format although I’ve read CUID is better than DocID as it stays persistent when you migrate from one CMS to another

documentDownload?iDocID=26781&sKind=Flash

or

http://<servername>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=26781&amp;sKind=Flash

or

http://<servername>/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=26781&amp;sKind=Flash

The first will work from within infoview, the second will work from any web application, the third is an alternate method but only works from within infoview for me.

Other that that try searching this site for OpenDocument and / or documentDownload to get heaps of hits.

sad to say, but we’re still on XIR2.

Does the SWF Loader work for XIR2? what’s the syntax?

This syntax works just fine in IE, but doesn’t when i bind it to Xcelsius.

Has anyone been successful in using the SWF Loader component providing the URL using the openDocument.jsp function?
In my case, the SWF loader componetn does not show anything. I tested the openDocument.jsp URL (using the CUID for my target Xcelsius flashfile) in InfoView and there it works fine. But the flash loader component just stays empty…

When I use:

http://<servername>/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID...

the the flash loader component prompts me separately for a login
How to avoid this?

I tried with a Flash variable in the parent Xcelsius dashboard using CELogonToken, but this produces various results such as: connections in child dashboard not refreshing, components in child dashboard not properly resized, etc.

I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3
