News: Xcelsius 2008 General Best Practices Guide Available!

We just gained word that Business Objects (an SAP company) has released the Xcelsius 2008 – General Best Practices Guide’. After a short review we recommend it to all users of the software (Xcelsius 4.5 included).

We found the following topics of great interest:

  1. Excel Best Practices – It does a brief overview of how to set up your Excel sheet for Xcelsius.
  2. Using Flash Variables – On pg. 10 they briefly describe how to use Flash Vars to pass values to your Xcelsius file.
  3. Running a .swf from your Desktop – This is a common issue that users run into when trying to run their .swf files locally.
  4. Setting up a Cross Domain File – It describes how to set up this file with Flash 9.0. Further details can also be found by referencing Ryans blog post here.

Download the file here.

Special thanks to Matt Lloyd (SAP Employee / Xcelsius Specialist) and Ryan Goodman (Xcelsius Evangelist) for creating this eBook.
