Self updating chart without a web server

[ajreynolds]

Greetings all.

I am trying to evaluate FusionWidgets to see if the self updating charts will work for what we would like to do.  I want to embed a web browser component in a program and have it display a chart.  This is on a local machine, not going through a web server.  I've figured out how to do this with a regular chart through FusionCharts, but I would also like to be able to auto update the data every few seconds.

To try to figure out how to do this, I've developed a simple set of files which I think should do it, but I just can't get them to work.  It's supposed to display a column chart that counts up from 0 to 59 and is updated every second.  I'd like to have it display just a single column that grows or shrinks as the data changes, not have it marching across the screen showing history. 

Would someone be able to take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Once unzipped, you should just be able to load the html file in a web browser to see the chart.  Remember, I'm not using a web server.

I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

I am afraid, you would need to use a web server (locally or live) to execute the asp page that is the data stream source. You can use your IIS to do this.

Thanks.  Is there any way to do this on the local machine without using IIS or another web server?  Possibly a different kind of data source?  There will not be a web server available to the machines where our application will be run.

Thanks,

Andy

Any answer?

You can try with a local file too - but that would raise Flash player security settings issue and you would have to configure in all your client machines.

Thanks Pallav.  I think I've found a way that will work for us using the regular FusionCharts instead of the widgets.
