Hi

I'm using a simple script to draw graphs, as shown below. When I enter the page, and the page reads data, the graph is drawn successfully. Whenever I test this in Preview mode it works fine.

In a published version, if I navigate to the page the graph is there - but click to another page and straight back, and the graph isn't drawn. I've used variable watch and all the same data is there to draw the graph, but it fails to appear.

Has anyone got any insight or suggestions?

Many thanks,

Paul

Script:
BarFramea.SetLineStyle(1)
BarFramea.SetLineColour(254,0,0)
BarFramea.SetFillColour(254,0,0)
var XPosa=561
var YPosa=210+(160-zxptime1)
BarFramea.DrawRectangle(XPosa,YPosa,40,zxptime1)

test

Hi Paul

Please ignore the test message above - I'm having forum submit problems and cannot edit atm.

I'd have a look at the script triggers.

Good luck

Hi

All the triggers for the bars to be drawn are simply 'On Show' commands, and like I said, it works fine in a test environment, but the graphs fail to redraw from certain pages at runtime, even though the variables are eactly the same!

Something to try (and try and try), partially out of curiosity, ...partially as a potential factor/solution.

Insert a wait() state at the beginning of the series of code. Depending what else you have going-on on the Page... start with wait(3) and then decrease the value to smallest possible that works (assuming it is a factor). My guess is the Script wants to execute immediately and not all things are 'in-place' already.

Going further...
- might as well encapsulate that code into the boundaries of a function, and then call the function automatically (with a bit of a wait(0.2) inside the func.)
-- check the basic help files for "Optimizing your Publication". There are several informative tips for how a Page loads (objects from the bottom of the Tree first... etc.). Maybe it is a simple matter of re-ordering, re-stacking.


[Lar Edit:] if that's not it, you've barked up the wrong tree.

Hi Paul

Tried to test your script - only one problem

What is zxptime1?

How did you initialise zxptime1?

Tks
