Using an XML file to load Chart components Flash MX

The new Flash MX charting components are a great way to create simple charts very quickly. They are even more useful when they can load data from an external source, such as an XML file.



You can use any file with a .xml extension as the data source for the chart. You could generate the XML file from an ASP, PHP or Cold Fusion page or straight from a database like Oracle or SQL Server.
