[OPEN-816] Charts expressInstall not working

Related post: http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94876

Ext version tested:

• Ext 3.2.0 (release)

Adapter used:

• ext

css used:

• only default ext-all.css

Browser versions tested against:

• IE8
• FF3.5.8

Operating System:

• WinXP

Description:

• Express install does not prompt to install Flash if Flash is not installed at all.

Test Case:
Use the /examples/chart/charts.html and add this between the ext-all.js and charts.js include.

Code:

---

    <script>
        Ext.FlashComponent.EXPRESS_INSTALL_URL = '../../resources/expressinstall.swf';
        Ext.override(Ext.chart.Chart, {
            expressInstall: true
        });
    </script>

---

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• set the express install url
• enable expressInstall
• open charts.html in a browser without Flash installed

The result that was expected:

• user should be prompted to install Flash.

The result that occurs instead:

• nothing happens. empty div is created where chart should be.

I know you've been away for a bit, please don't set thread tags :)

Couldn't reproduce this.

Ran it on IE6 in a VM that didn't have flash installed, got the prompt to install flash:

                    font:
                    {
                        family: 'Tahoma',
                        size: 13
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    });
});

The browser I used is FireFox!
The expressInstall has been configured to true and the Ext.FlashComponent.EXPRESS_INSTALL_URL has been set. However, Express install does not prompt to install Flash at all.

Evan,

My bug report states IE8 and FF3.5.8 as the target browsers for this issue.

Is this ever going to be fixed? Still not working on FF 8 or 9.

Still not working (FF15).
