Wow just found this beautifull charting application at actionScript.com
Built by Cognos this application is a great example of how flash mx is far away from the twenning days.
It's really funny too to find this now that we are almost finished with a huge project that involves a lot of seamlike code. Although ours involves a lot of database interaction through Java Server Pages, looks like they just went over it and simplified things even more using flash remoting.
check it out, it's really well done.
