AnyChart Flash Chart Component

If you're looking for a software solution that allows for the creation of animated, compact, interactive, and visually appealing charts, then Anychart may just be the app for you. This Macromedia Flash-based tool offers a range of features that make customization simple and convenient.

Anychart is driven by an XML interface, which means that users have a variety of options when it comes to setting transparency, color, URL linking, captions, and much more. Moreover, you can make all the necessary customizations through an XML file, without requiring any modifications to the Flash source.

One of the standout features of Anychart is that it doesn't require installation since all graphing happens on the client side. Thus, your server need not render any image, and there's no need for any Active-X components. A Flash Player is installed on more than 97% of Internet-connected PC's, so you can be sure that your charts will work across most devices.

The app's interface is incredibly easy-to-use, and you can make an XML file manually or use a Configuration Tool that's included with any edition of AnyChart. Additionally, the software is compatible with virtually all scripting languages (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, etc.). You can use any language you like to create XML source and pass it to a Flash object, or simply use an XML file from your server.

Anychart allows you to add your own background image and sound with ease. This means you can create charts that look precisely how you want them to look, even playing sound or using an image as a link. Furthermore, the app has a constantly growing number of supported chart types, including Pie, Bar, Line, and Candlestick, with new types being added regularly.

Overall, Anychart is a top-notch tool for anyone who needs to create charts that are both visually appealing and interactive. With its ease of use, flexible XML interface, and compatibility with most scripting languages, it's no wonder why so many people rely on it to create stunning graphs and charts.
