Web Viewer in FileMaker 8.5 January 10, 2007
Posted by Dan Stuchbury in : FileMaker Pro , trackbackThe first time I saw the Web Viewer control, I thought “that’s useful, I might use that one day”. Then I came across a method of creating graphs & charts in Flash, using the Web Viewer control to display an HTML page with the .swf embedded.
The attached .zip file was obtained from FileMaker and details three techniques to achieve different results, with different levels of complexity. I am about to re-develop one of my solutions, Golf Tracker - a golf score management system, to include charts presented this way, as it is much more professional-looking than the way I did it before, using calculation fields. I won’t go into detail about that now, but if you want to know how I did it, let me know.
I’m sure there are loads of other uses for charts, and the Web Viewer control, and as I come across specific applications for me, I’ll post them here for all to see.
