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:
- Excel Best Practices – It does a brief overview of how to set up your Excel sheet for Xcelsius.
- Using Flash Variables – On pg. 10 they briefly describe how to use Flash Vars to pass values to your Xcelsius file.
- Running a .swf from your Desktop – This is a common issue that users run into when trying to run their .swf files locally.
- 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.

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