Hi,



We've just released beta 2 of FusionCharts for Flex. It features the following improvements:

* More chart types including True 3D chart, Spline Charts, Funnel and Pyramid Charts

* Better drag & drop support in Flex Builder IDE. You can now render the default chart by just dragging and dropping FusionCharts component from the IDE. Additionally, live preview has been improved.

* Ability to specify custom folder for chart SWF files

* More events to help you track different status of charts, including an error event.

* Examples on how to connect it with BlazeDS

* Enhanced documentation and code samples

* Bug fixes from previous versions



Additionally, we've also roughly worked out the licensing and pricing of this component. This is what it currently looks like:



* Developer License for $299 per developer. This license allows a developer to use FusionCharts for Flex in all the projects that he develops.

* Enterprise License for $1,499. This license allows a business with multiple developers located in a single physical building to use FusionCharts for Flex in all their Flex projects.

* OEM License for $2,499. This license allows an ISV to embed FusionCharts for Flex in their Flex product for distribution to unlimited clients.
