I was wondering anyone had suggestions for ways to chart data easily from a mysql database. I am working on a website composed totally in Flash.For example: a football database, a user may enter a players name and then a graph shows the goals scored over time.I have looked into google charts, fusion charts and opencharts and they seem to be ok if you are making a html page and will create graphs for you..
I'm looking to display some data in the form of charts (line graphs, pie charts etc). I also require them to have a certain amount of interactivity (pan, zoom etc.).
For these requirements, will Adobe Flex be enough for me, or would I need to use flash?
A little research told me that building charts in Flex is easy, but can they be made interactive without using Flash?
I'd like to create cool lines and bars charts dynamically, from xml data. Since I'm not an expert in Flash, I wanted to get a tool to accomplish this. So far, I've tried Flex Builder 3, but I can't figure how to draw the chart dynamically, as the xml data is constantly changing. I just see examples on the internet with xml like "Orange, Banana, Apple", when what I'd like to see is something like "......" and get each item's value and attributes to show in the chart.
I have Flex Builder Professional Ver 3 (Built with Eclipse) version.
I need to build an application with charts. The problem is that there are no charting components to be seen. There is no datavisualization.swc file in the libs folder.
Can anyone enlighten me on how I can use the Flex mx.charts component in my Flash Project? I am using Flash Professional CS4 Are there any tutourials on the subject.
I am trying to use AlivePDF to save a chart into a .pdf file. However, when I try to save my chart, it ends up clipping half of the chart in the pdf so it isn't even fully visible. It seems that the screencapture that AlivePDF took to generate my pdf was too small.I am trying to get a chart from a sample to work with sample code for using alivepdf that I picked off the web.[code]
[URL] The link above references the documentation for a CandlestickChart class. I would like to use it, but I have never heard of it and I cant even understand the example. The first thing it says to do is to import mx.charts, doesnt work. Does this CandlestickChart class even exist in Flash Professional?

My trouble is that my project is taking more and more time to be compiled.My preocupation is how to speed up this compilation ?I used now a SSD hard disk and a quad core CPU.Do you think that purchasing an I7 core will speed up the compilation ?
My fear is that it does not bacause Flash CS5 will not take advantage of the multi core.
Is there a hardware configuration someone can advise me ?
im building a product menu that loads a bunch of images through xml and uses one movieclip instance for the texts.URL..So far my code loads the 5 items and gives them 600px of space in beetween. This way i can use next/prev navigation. But the problem is when i reach the last one, it should loop, so that after the last one should come the first one again. And same in reverse for the prev-arrow.I have all this code inside a movieclip that im now controlling with the arrows:[code]And i cant get my head around that where should i include the looping, in pseudocode: "if picture x <= -600 reload it as the last picture && if picture x >= +600 reload it as the first picture"

Any tips on building a better mouse cursor?The basic implementations of a custom mouse cursors I've found to be incredibly unresponsive. Does anyone out there have any tricks on how to structure the code so that a custom cursor actually updates its position in a more responsive manner?[code]
I have a panel movie clip that contains six buttons, this panel movieclip also contains a tool tip movie clip for each button, the tool tips just reside inside the panel movie clip not inside the buttons. When the buttons are rolled over I want the tool tips to appear, alpha from 0 to 1 using Tweenlite. Rather than repeating the event handler code I have used two arrays, one for the buttons and one for the tooltips.
So I need to tell flash that when button 2 for example is rolled over, make tool tip 2 appear. The code I have is below, I think I'm nearly there but this errors. Am I right to use switch?
I have referred this for creating error message tool tips, to be displayed continuously unless the error is resolved by the user. :: [URL]
But, this is being applied to a pop-up window visualized as a pop-up form.
When the user clicks 'CANCEL' button, I want the error message tooltips if present to be cleared off from the screen. The message tool tips remains on the screen even if the CANCEL button is clicked.
anyone know of a good resource for banner development tips and tricks - mainly in regards to image optimization, external imports and filesize reduction. Its been a while since i have looked into smart ways to pack more clarity and quality into flash banners and wanted to reach out.
In a LineChart in Flex you can set a LineSeries to interpolateValues="true" what this does is connect missing values so you do not have gaps in your line. But what I would like is for it to insert 0's for the missing fields instead of drawing a direct line to fill the gap.
Adobe states that Charts are supported in mobile projects but when I try to change the following working files (created project with File - New - Flex Mobile Project - Google Nexus One):
I have a requirement to come up with a time line chart and a few more controls on a single page[with rich ui]. I have short listed Flex, JSF[apache trinidad], html5, gwt these technologies. None of them provide timeline charts on their own. I am looking at other options such as using third party libraries. The chart should have drill down capabilities as well. Let me know if there is any specific technology that I should try.
I am looking for easy customizable charts. For example, i need to do this chart.So...What is best technplogy, flash, silverlight(on server side asp.net WebForms), js. Is it good idea to write own chart conrols without based on exists controls?
