Hello,

I’m currently looking into a project which requires a line chart to be generated from an external data source (XML) with a variable number of points.

I currently have no idea of how to tackle this. Any input would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Dan

Do you know how to get the data from the XML file?

Hi Pom,

The XML file is generated from a database and accessed by the swf.

Have you had any experience in this area?

Cheers
