Hey Atul,

 

Yes, definitely using FusionCharts we can prompt the user to download the Flash Player if it doesn't exist.

 

Starting FusionCharts v3.2.2 gives you the option of either using automatic fallback, wherein the charts figure out the best mode of rendering (either Flash or JavaScript, based on availability of Flash Player), or lets you configure whether to render charts exclusively using JavaScript/Flash.

 

So, to render only Flash based charts, set the current renderer to flash. All the charts that get rendered, after this function call, will abide by this setting.

 

Also, to prompt the user to download Adobe Flash Player, try setting 'detectFlashVersion' and 'autoInstallRedirect ' attribute to '1' in the FusionCharts constructor.

 

detectFlashVersion : Set to "1" to make FusionCharts Class check whether Flash Player 8 is present in the Browser. (optional - Default value is "0' )

autoInstallRedirect : Set to "1" with detectFlashVersion set to "1" and FusionCharts redirects to Flash Player installation page of Adobe's website. (optional - default is "0")

 

FusionCharts.setCurrentRenderer('flash'); var myChart = new FusionCharts('Column2D.swf', 'myChart1', '900', '300', '0', '1','','','','1','1');

Hope this helps.
