Color variables invalid after Publisher reload

[kswindlehurst]

Can anyone explain what is going on with this process:

The attached file has a chart and each column's background color is set to variables that I loaded via include script.  I saved a copy of the qvw, erased the load script and changed it to a Binary load referring back to the original.  On the server's client, I can reload it all day and the colors are fine.  If I have publisher reload it, all the colors vanish, but the variable's all still have their RGB() assignments.  The chart just won't process them.  If I wrap the background color assignment in $(  ), the color comes back.  What happened?

Hi!,

You need to include your script :

$(Include=..\your_file_path\your_file.qvs);

In your script you must have some variable like:

SET your_color_variable = rgb(0,0,0);

An finally, you must go to the chart properties, select the Colours tab and change the color click-in and in Calculated text box put this:

=$(your_color_variable)

(It's important select the Calculated radio button)

Regards.

Thank Enrique,

Yes, I know either of these steps will correct the symptom, but I want to understand the cause.  Why this is happening in the first place?  How does a Publisher reload alter the qvw in way that the client reload doesn't?   And what is it altering?
