Charts are simply renderings of a data model that is provided in a data provider - this is covered very extensively in the charting documentation. There is also a good number of examples of how to populate data models/data providers using server-side Java (you can expose a CFC as a Java class), or from Web Service Calls (you can expose a CFC as a Web Service) or from HTTPService calls. Again, there are lots of examples in the docs. Plug the 2 bits of thinking together, and yes, you can populate charts from dynamic server-generated data; that's really the entire point. Have you checked out Christophe's Chart Explorer at: http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=91 There are lots of examples in there as to how to fetch data into data providers. And in the book, "Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex" we show in the final sample application, the population of charts using J2EE and MySQL. So .... yes it can be done.
