Hi there! Just a short question : has someone integrated an FC chart in a Flex application ? I just found this site, I think it's one of the best product that money can buy for charting, but I don't seem to be able to integrate it in our current approach. The issue I'm facing is that when I'm adding a chart to a panel ( via an SWFLoader object ), until certain dimensions of the container panel, nothing shows, after those dimensional constraints are met, the chart is added to the display, but it takes over the whole visible area. Any ideas why this happens ? TIA! All best, Dan

FWIW, I have played a little with IE6, no problems. hth

IMHO, it's all about embedding. Try simple loader.

You have two approaches : - add the xml name after the question mark, like in the previous example; - use the following function: function setVars ( event:Event ):void { event.target.content.dataURL = "Data.xml"; } and call it in the 'complete' event on the loader. The issue with setVars is that is sets the dataURL, but cannot set other params, didn't experimented too much. However, all the important stuff is in xml, so you're safe hth

From my current experience, it works, but you have to find, for each chart, the cobination between the height and the width of the panel you're adding the swf loader and the dimensions of the swf loader itself, and it's only by trial and error so far, and it's connected to each chart in part, I wasn't able / didn't have time to search for a generic rule yet. By example: < mx : Panel x="10" y="10" width="600" height="330" title="Graphic One"> < mx : SWFLoader id="Pie" width="500" height="120" source="Pie3D.swf?dataURL=Pie3D.xml"/> < /mx : Panel> works for me. I suspect that's somehow related to the initial aspect ratio of each graph.

I would take a look at jQuery first.

I would suggest : - creating your own XML proxy somewhere on the web ( I mean you issue a request to your server, it goes to the desired site, grabs the XML, re-formats it and streams it to your chart ) - do the same thing in Javascript, generate chart XML format by parsing incoming XML in Javascript. hth
