Hello,
I'm wondering if it is possible within MX to replicate some of the graphics
the WSJ has done, such as the following:

http://online.wsj.com/public/resourc...-Gold0801.html

Basically, I want to present a price chart of a stock or commodity (preferably
with the ability for a web user to scroll back in history on the chart), and
have little flags planted on the chart that a user could scroll over and have
some information pop up.

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi

Yeah, anything is possible depending on which MX version you have. MX04 would
be absolute minimum.

I would suggest you use XML as your structured data source and the Drawing API
to render the loaded data. As for scrolling thru the timeline you could create
your graph inside a movieclip and scroll it based on the mouse position.

So in essence read all about XML, Drawing API and Scrolling Panels.

Alternatively, you could buy a charting extension that will do everything for
you. But where's the fun in that.

Hope it s
