I am playing with a Fusion Chart (http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/) object in the editor.  I have added a new toolbar button, show the dialogue box using editor.ShowDialog()  (I would like a list of all parameters for this function).

The dialog opens, I do my thing on the page and the chart is added to the editor on the save.  

My problem now is editing the chart (ie: re-opening it).  It is a html object, I can click on it and select it and then using the code below can get a handle to it.  But it says it is a Control. 

   var editor = CuteEditor_GetEditor(button);
   var editdoc = editor.GetDocument();
   alert(editdoc.selection.type);

<object codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" height="300" width="600" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" name="7">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"   />
<param name="movie" value="FusionCharts/FCF_Column3D.swf"   />
<param name="FlashVars" value="&amp;chartWidth=600&amp;chartHeight=300&amp;debugMode=0&amp;dataURL=uploads/GraphXML/47/7.xml"   />

>>And on another note, the chart does not appear in the editor in Firefox 3.

To get the above chart show in firefox, you need to have <embed> tag.

 

>>would love to get the html for it as there are attributes I would like to access.

 

It's very hard to get those attributes.

I gave up trying to get the name of the xml, I am going to split up the xml data edit and the chart setup into 2 different dialogs.

I was going to add a div around the chart and try and get the parent element of the selected control (ie the div) and have the xml name as part of the div.  But I couldn't be bothered.

 

As for the not showing in firefox, there is an embed in the html.  I am no expert on adding swf's, is the embed wrong?

>>the chart does not appear in the editor in Firefox 3

 

I tested your HTML code in this example:

 

 

The HTML code is protected correctly.

 

I suggest you contact the author of this control and ask them why the html code only works in IE.

Hi again,

 

I have spotted the issue why firefox is not showing the charts.  When I paste (or even go to HTML view and change) the html for the chat, cute editor in firefox converts all the & to &amp;  While this seem correct, it breaks the chat.  IE leaves all the & as they are.

 

I will have a look around for some setting to stop this, but if you know how to stop what I am assuming is encoding that would be great?

Justin,

 

Set Editor.UseSimpleAmpersand Property to true then try again.

Hi Adam,

 

Yes, I just saw that and I put it in and it has stopped the & from changing to &amp;  But still the charts are not showing.

For the project I am doing I have an extra button to show a preview (including uploaded css/images/templates) and the chart now shows fine (I generate a html page which is shown inside a iframe), so it is only in the cute editor that it does not show.

 

I am trying to get it on a live server, if you want to check it out.

Just to let you know, I found the issue with Firefox.  The html gets put in with the embed tag ending with /> but for some reason in firefox the /> was getting converted to >, therefore no "end tag" for the embed. So I replace the /> with > myself and add a </embed> before the html is put into cute editor. 

 

Now it just comes up with the Flash Icon, which I have read in other posts is done to stop firefox messing things up.

 

So it is all good for now.

 

Thanks

Justin
