Thanks for the tips. I need some flash based charting. When the user
clicks on a button called "stats", I wanted a window to appear which
loads a flash based chart with the apt data.

I used to use the rails plugin at
"http://www.pullmonkey.com/projects/open_flash_chart";. It basically
gives ruby wrapper for the OFC2 swf and js. For eg, I just need 2
methods in main_tab_controller of rails like this:

> def stat_tab
>         @graph = open_flash_chart_object(600,300,"/main_tab/graph_code")
>   end
   
> def graph_code
>     title = Title.new("My TITLE")
>     bar = BarGlass.new
>     bar.set_values([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])
>     chart = OpenFlashChart.new
>     chart.set_title(title)
>     chart.add_element(bar)
>     render :text => chart.to_s
>   end
>   


And I get this HTML when calling the URL "/main_tab/stat_tab" :
> <div id="stat">
>  
> <script type="text/javascript" src="/swfobject.js"></script>
>  
>         <div id="flash_content_EhBeFfP1"></div>
>       <script type="text/javascript">
>       swfobject.embedSWF("/open-flash-chart.swf",
> "flash_content_EhBeFfP1", "600", "300", "9.0.0",
> "expressInstall.swf",{"data-file":"*%2Fmain_tab%2Fgraph_code*"},
> {"wmode":"transparent"});
>       </script>
>       <noscript>
>         <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
> codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0";
> width="600" height="300" id="chart_EhBeFfP1" align="middle"
> wmode="transparent">
>           <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
>           <param name="movie"
> value="/open-flash-chart.swf?data=%2Fmain_tab%2Fgraph_code" />
>           <param name="quality" value="high" />
>           <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
>           <embed
> src="/open-flash-chart.swf?data=%2Fmain_tab%2Fgraph_code"
> quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="600" height="300"
> name="chart_EhBeFfP1" align="middle"  allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
> type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
> pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";
> id="chart_EhBeFfP1" />
>         </object>
>       </noscript>
>
>
> </div>
The parameter "data-file" contains the URL path from where the JSON data
can be fetched. Now from what you said, I need to move this javascript
generated above to the QX app's code and then get the flash to use the
json data from the data returning method. But I wanted to know if there
is a way to use the rails/ruby wrapper for OFC2(Open Flash Chart 2), as
it's easier/simpler to use, as evidenced from the above 2 rails' methods.

Also, when I tried "var h = qx.ui.embed.Html();" firebug had the warning
from QX "qx.ui.embed is undefined". What could be the problem here?

cheers,
skar.
