Bubble Plots - Urgent

Question

I am very new to JSL. Could anyone tell me how to use this option "Time Index" in bubble pot?

Here is what I am trying to do. I have two weeks data. Week 1 and Week 2. I want certain text to be displayed on the graph depending on the week. I am trying to do it with customize option.
Pls let me know how to do this?

Thanks....

Here is the bigger picture. I need to pull up data from ms sql database and then get these plots and upload them to the server as flash presenations. This will be done on a weekly basis. Static bubble plots means the bubble sizes wont be proportionate for each of the time periods and when I do an animation (say powerpoint) I cannot see the pattern. I have written to JMP and they are working on the issue. Let me know if there is any other way.

Thanks again.

Disappointingly, I have still not figured out how to capture the Time Index in order to add scripts to  time-specific bubble plot.

But here's another idea for a workoraund.
Make static bubble plots for each time index, including the graph scripts you want. Write a script that let the plots show up in the same position on the display and control the timing with the Wait() command. Either as a new window, or with little more effort as updates of the relevant display boxes. Then let a screen recording tool capture the plot sequence to video. For Mac there is Snapz Pro X and there are certainly many options for Windows, some may even allow direct export to flash video. Google screencams!

Not elegant, not pure JSL, but I think it is a possible route to the customized bubble-plot sequence you're after.

Partially problem fixed. 
But now I need to step over each time period and do some calculations and display it on the graph. I am sure there must be a variable which captures time period but not able to figure out that. Please help me with this.
Also, I am facing this problem, while converting the bubble plot as flash since my data points are categorical variables, the flash gets messed up. How do I fix this? It looks great when I play it in JMP enviroment but many of my data points go missing in flash. Any possible work around for this issue?

Thanks in advance.
