Child dashboard using LO or QaaWS

I’m creating a parent/child dashboard using the Slide Show component.

Parent should pass value to child swf, then child should run Live Office connection based on the passed value. (Tried QaaWS too).
Passing value from parent to child works perfectly, but when the child swf executes the LO connection it gives me an error:

“Soapenv: server.generalException: String index out of range: -1”

I know it’s the LO connection because I put a Connection Refresh Button to isolate each step.

When I reference the child swf by itself, it refreshes.

Can you not run child swf’s using a database feed based on a parents value??
First time I’ve had to use a parent/child dashboard design, but I’ve read quite a bit on the forums.

Parent uses this link:
documentDownload?iDocID=223460&LocInput=ALL&sKind=Flash&CELogonToken=

Child swf:
Flash Variable as input
LO and QaaWS give me the error above when referencing value from parent swf

Ok – let me re-ask the question.

Has any person created a Parent / Child swf where the child uses LO or QaaWS SUCCESSFULLY?

Can’t believe I’m the first person to try this. :shock:

I have tried with QaaWS and it worked.

I had your error once but it was using a Web Service connection (not QaaWS).

The only difference I see is the “&LocInput=ALL”, I don’t know what it is and I didn’t use it.

Something else, have you created a flash variable connexion in document parent to get your CELogonToken from infoview, considering your docs are stored in infoview ? And if yes, have you mapped it on a cell A1 and added &A1 in your parameters string ?
