FlashChart¿1.0¿is a¿long-awaited component for data visualization. It generates various kinds of charts in Macromedia Flash¿ format.¿FlashChart is a must have component for everyone who need to display data¿as charts. Judge for yourself: Macromedia Flash¿ is a very wide-spread format - overwhelming majority of Internet users has browsers, supporting this format. Besides of it, Flash movies, unlike common images, are much more attractive. In particular, charts in Macromedia Flash¿ format are animated; several types of animation are available. In addition, files of¿this format are rather compact.

FlashChart has a lot of appearance settings. You can adjust almost every element of resulting chart. But it is not all: the "cherry on top" is that settings could be saved into the separate file, edited, and loaded back. It allows you to prepare so-called "style schemes" or skins. We ship about 30 ready-to-use style schemes.

FlashChart is developed for using in the .NET Framework environment.¿However, since¿Microsoft¿took care¿of compatibility of the¿.NET and COM technologies,¿you can add the might of the FlashChart not only into the pure .NET application, but into the common projects as ActiveX component too (.NET Framework must be installed though).

Furthermore, we took care of convenience in usage and prepared detailed documentation in MSDN style, which is building in the MSDN and integrating with Visual Studio .NET (thus¿such a great feature as dynamic help is available).
