Sorry if i offended you Doug. I subscribe to your RSS feed and really appreciate all your input to the community.
I agree with you that if Adobe is going to make the component that I should try to do it my self. I have actually been trying to do it and found out that it's not an easy thing! That's why at Apollo Camp I went into the "ask the experts" room to see what adobe's plans are for it. I have herd adobe employees elude to the possibility of a future component and the scheduling component on adobe labs looks really promising. Although it's a good learning exersize I didn't want to duplicate effort. Out of four employees none of them knew the answer(although they answered all of my apollo questions!) I guess the next charting components are being outsourced. They suggested that I clearly ask the question on flex coders and that someone from adobe would have an answer. So that's why I asked. If they don't have any plans I will continue to try to build it myself. --- In [email protected], "Doug McCune" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Bah, vaporware!?!
