Are there any good data visualization libraries that you swear by? I'm looking into what is available for the creation of tree-like graphs that represents rounds of competition.
View 3 RepliesAre there javascript libraries that can handle large data visualization? I've seen Protovis, but not sure how much data it can handle. Also, how do Actionscript libraries compare to Javascript in terms of performance?More:I've tried Flare, but seems to be slow for my applictaion. Now I'm yet to figure out if it is the rendering or if it is the shaping of data for rendering. I am looking at interactive graphs like the JobVoyager.
View 1 RepliesI am preparing an offer for a customer. They proide weekly data to different organizations. There is huge amount data suits OLAP that needed to be visualized with charts and pivot tables on web and custom reports will be built by non-it persons (an easy gui). They will enter a date range, location which data columns to be included and generate report and optionally export the data to Excel. They currently prepare reports with MS Excel with Pivot Tables and but they need a better online tool now to show data to their customers. Tables are huge and need of drill-down functionality. My current knowledge Spring, Flex, MySql, Linux. I have some knowledge of PostgreSQL and MSSQL and Windows. What is the easiest way of doing this project. Do you think that SSRP (haven't tried yet) and ASP.NET better suits for this kind of job. Actually I prefer open source solutions. Flex have OLAP Data Grid control which do aggregation on client side. JasperServer seems promising but it seems I need enterprise version (multiple organizations and ad hoc queries). What about Modrian + Flex + PostgreSQL solution?
View 1 RepliesI have been goggling a lot to find anything with link-based data visualization in Flex 4. something like below screen shoot (made using Ravis). Where user can drag these nodes, without removing the links and on double click of any node we can set some properties for that particular node. I found this Ravis (Birdeye), but not much of examples and support is available for that.

View 1 RepliesIm trying to create a small data visualization project. i'm wanted multicoloured balls to fall the mouse round the screen and when you click one it brings up data from an xml document. im currently using a image of a ball is there away to generate one in flash so far this is what i have
ball.onEnterFrame = function() {
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;
var yMouse = _root._ymouse;

I've got a pure AS3 (no Flex) project that uses Flare to display and interact with a data visualization. I just implemented some panning behavior, so you can click and drag the visualization around, and now I'd like to give the user a visual indicator that this is possible, by switching the arrow cursor with a nice grabby-looking hand icon.The user can click and drag at any time except when the mouse is over a clickable node (at which time the cursor swaps to a pointer - this behavior is already in place).
1) Do I need to create my own custom bitmap/sprite or is there a palette of built-in cursors I can use? (I'm not using Flex.)
2) Is there a way to simply replace the default arrow with the pan cursor project-wide, or do I need to attach the swapping to mouse events on display objects? Can I use the stage object to make this behavior apply everywhere?
3) How do I perform the swap? Do I use the Cursor object directly or do I need to get involved with the CursorManager?
does anyone know of any alternatives to the flare data visualization framework that is in regular AS3 and not Flex? [URL]..
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to visualize the results of a quiz in ActionScript 3.0.What I would like some input on is how to best link the "filters" (top right corner in attached image) to the data source in a flexible OOP way.The result array now contains both number of correct answers and meta data about the person taking the quiz. The meta data could be both discrete (sex) or continuous (age).
results = [{name: "Lisa", correct: 5, sex: 0, age: 52}, {name: "Peter", correct: 3, sex: 1, age: 32} ... ]
How do I tell the boxes to, for example, change color when I change filter?Should each box object hold its own data or should there be some sort of controller listening to the filter object to dispatch an event and thereafter call a box.setColor method?
I have a professional license of Flex 3.3. This allows me to create applications using the data visualization components (charts) without watermarks. However, all of release builds (test, production, etc) occur on our build server.
The build server only has the Flex SDK installed (not full Flex Builder). As a result the SWFs compiled with this SDK contain watermarks on all the charts. How can I apply a Flex Builder Professional license to the build server to remove the watermakrs w/o installing Flex Builder?My build environment is Flex SDK 3.3 + CruiseControl.NET + NAnt.
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
I'm building my first AS 3.0 application and am using external .swf files that load into a main.swf. I'm creating transitions for each external .swf as they are unloaded so when the user clicks next, the current .swf transitions out and the new one comes in. Since loadMovie and levels are obsolete in 3.0,I've looked into the transitions manager class, but some of my transitions are pretty intricate so I would need to use timeline based tweens.

View 1 RepliesI'm doing some research for a Maps project I'll be starting soon, and I'm trying to evaluate which of the Map APIs will be best-suited to this project. I've worked pretty extensively with the Google Maps Javascript API, but no others. My basic requirements are, in no particular order[code]...
Flexible: the Google Maps JS API is a good example of this. Basically this leads to lots of good things like numerous third-party plugins/extensions, and puts a lot of power in the devs' hands.
Well-documented and supported: again, the GMap JS API is a good example. If I'm going to start working with a new, rich API, I'm going to need to be able to find answers.
As of now, I'm inclined to use the Google Map Javascript API since I am familiar with it. However, the question of whether or not the Flash API might be able to handle many points more efficiently and gracefully prompted this SO question.

View 3 RepliesI have two basic bar charts and I am currently using XML/SWF Charts which is great but the problem I have is I need to be able to send these graphs via email to the user. As well as display them on the site.
I know sending Flash is a bad idea, I would love to find a way to convert my current graphs to an image, but am pretty certain there is no quick fix without building a work around myself.
Therefore what are the best open source or closed solutions for this problem.I need to be able to display two graphs dynamically and then email them to users.
recently i was made a flash mp3 player using actionscript 3 with REAL GRAPHIC EQUALIZER (or VISUALIZER) VARYING EXACTLY WITH SONG BEAT.....but now i want it into actionscript 2........
ActionScript Code:
//Create an instance of the Sound class
var soundClip:Sound = new Sound();
//Create a new SoundChannel Object
[code]....
I'm trying to add sound visualization to my flash mp3 player. I found some samples but when adding the script to my project it doesn't work.The code for my mp3 player is:
import caurina.transitions.*;
volume_mc.slider_mc.buttonMode = true;
var xOffset:Number;[code]......
I'm a programmer and I've learn some basic knowledge about Flash Builder. What I can do with it now is to use the components and somethings override the redraw function to design my own components. However, I find that is a inefficient way and I seems to complex to achieve the animation with only codes. Are there some way to develop with Flash Builder and Flash CS? And how to make animation without complex code? Could you recommend some books for me?
View 1 RepliesI have developed one Mondrian schema and cube. I have deployed schema file in Pentaho BI server. I would like to know is it possible to connect these Pentaho schemas and UI technologies like Google Visualization API or Adobe Flex?
While searching for solution I came to know about OLAP4J and icCube, out of which I think OLAP4J is very old project and its not really active project. icCube looks good but it works with its own server, it cannot be integrated with Pentaho BI server.
Right now I am thinking about Google Visualization API and Adobe Flex. Or, is there any other option?Where can I get more information about it?
I'm actually not an AS nor flex coder, but i'm using Flowplayer and some plugin written in Flex/AS3.i figured its more relevent to AS forum then Flex since the actuall code is in AS3.the plugin called: audiovisual - its a sound visualisation written in AS3:

now, the goal is to make the background of it WHITE.i actually did changed the actual effects colors like i wanted but the BG color i can't find it.
I'm trying to match the behavior of SoundMixer.computeSpectrum() by using the new Sound.extract() method, so that I can draw music visualizations for separate Sound objects at once. As you know, computeSpectrum() samples the currently playing audio and copies it to a ByteArray. Sound.extract(), on the other hand, copies as much of the Sound as you want to the ByteArray, and does not require the Sound to be playing at the time.
With the Sound data extracted to a ByteArray, I know have about twenty-six thousand floating-point values representing the waveform, from start to finish. However, I'm only interested in about thirty-two of them at a time- the last thirty-two that were played. How do I determine where in the ByteArray that would be?

Is there any actionscript that can make objects respond to the sound? Like visualization in media player or winapm; where we have picture that changes as the sound changes. So Im wondering is there a method to make something like that in flash using actionscript.
View 5 RepliesI wanted to make a visualization based on sound, like a winamp plug in. The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)[URL] Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?
