That's not entirely true.  The limitation isn't with Flash.  It used to be, but there have been many advancements in Flash.  It's now possible to create a bitmap image within flash, render a flash drawing to that and then capture the bitmap data.  You could then send that data to an external script which could re-render that bitmap data into an image for saving.

That entails transferring all data pixel wise (as bitmap) from the chart to PHP/ASP.NET page, which can run into over a MB for a decent sized chart too.
