Cannot export a fusionchart with 'Embedding Charts Using <OBJECT>/<EMBED> Tags'
- by zoom_pat277
I am trying to export a fusion chart created using 'Embedding Charts Using / Tags'.
Export works just perfect with the right click (on the chart) and chose a pdf to export.
But I am not able to make this work via javascript. I have a button outside the chart which upon clicking calls the function below
function myexport()
{
var object = getChartFromId('myChartid');
if( object.hasRendered() ) object.exportChart({exportFormat: 'PDF'});
}
the object above returned is null and this fails on the next line
here is the full prototype
<html>
<head>
<title>My Chart</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fusionCharts.debug.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fusionChartsExportComponent.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ExportMyChart() {
var cObject = getChartFromId('Column3D');
if( cObject.hasRendered() ) cObject.exportChart({exportFormat: 'PDF'});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object width="400" height="400" id="Column3D" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" >

</object>
<!-- We also create a DIV to contain the FusionCharts client-side exporter component -->
<div id="holderDiv" align="center">FusionCharts Export Handler Component</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var myExportComponent = new FusionChartsExportObject("testExporter1", "FCExporter.swf");
//Render the exporter SWF in our DIV fcexpDiv
myExportComponent.Render("holderDiv");
</script>
<input type="button" value="Export My Chart" onclick="ExportMyChart()" />
