Event Parameters in Flurry Analytics; iPhone app

Trying to get Flurry analytics working in my iPhone app.

I begin a timed event like this:

NSMutableDictionary *eventDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"0", @"PARAMETER1", 
@"0", @"PARAMETER2", 
nil];
[FlurryAPI logEvent:@"MY_EVENT" withParameters:eventDict timed:YES];

At the conclusion of the timed event, I do this:

[eventDict setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", parameter1] forKey:@"PARAMETER1"];
[eventDict setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", parameter2] forKey:@"PARAMETER2"];
[FlurryAPI endTimedEvent:@"MY_EVENT" withParameters:eventDict];

The parameters show up just fine in the event logs but if I try to view the parameters via the Event Parameters link/widget in their web dashboard, I get this message:

You currently have no event parameters to track

Tried posting the event as a regular, non-timed event and it made no difference.

Anyone have any idea how I get my event parameters recognized as actual event parameters that I can analyze them in the dashboard. Or is this Event Parameters widget something they don't even have working yet? Or do I just not understand what Event Parameters are supposed to provide?

The Flurry web site is practically no help at all.

TIA

It can take a few hours for event parameters to be updated. If you've just added them recently, try again in a few hours.
