Dasboard Size in SWF

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design
#1

HI

I am using Xcelsius 2008… I build a dashboard with 320 X 170 size… when i preview it, it is coming ok…(small box in the middle of the screen)

But when i make a swf and run it, it covers the whole screen… with big box and big fonts…

Does any one has any idea why it is showing me like this…is there any fix to it.

Thanks

If you are exporting swf in your system it will always bigger size cuz of pixels. but if you are exporting to CMS then it will not show like that it will be small you may feel little different sometime because of you screen pixels.
but in you system it will always show you explorer size
but dont worry it will look better in CMS.

the above post is incorrect.

If you need to control SWF rendering size, you need to deploy to a web platform…preferrable one that supports HTML. There, in the web page source code, you can explicitly define Height/width…the benefit being that no matter what visual device the end users come to your webpage with…your SWF will not shrink or expand.

  1. If you are publishing to Sharepoint, then you can put the SWF in the Sharepoint document library, and get the Http link.

Make a new WebPart page, link to your SWF. In the Appearance settings of the web part page…define Height and width.

Warning: You will need to adjust the Crossdomain.xml file for your BOBJ enterprise server to trust Sharepoint.

  1. Make a simple web page. Use MS word if you have to…
    Follow the instructions here

to learn how to embed a SWF into a web page. Adjust the Height/Width manually in the small bit of code.

Or cheat like I do, and export the XLF to HTML within xcelsius. It will generate an SWF and an HTML file. Then you can open the HTML file in notepad and edit it manually.

Never having been “trained” as a programmer, I tend to let the software do the hard work for me and then hack into it afterwards! I’m not sure I could write html (or VB for that matter) from scratch, but I can look at the output from a wizard, work out what it’s doing and change it to do something else, with as little help from google …:wink:

And shall we copy the HTML and SWF to a folder in our web server?

When I reference the HTML file in Sharepoint, it prompts to download the file even though Browser handling option in Sharepoint has been set to Permissive.

I read that the HTML and SWF should be placed in a folder in web server. Is it correct?

That’s what I do, yes. Stick the files on a webserver and load the html via a browser.
