I actually haven't got a whole lot of experience with Adobe charting but from what I understand Adobe charts give you a good foundation to building advanced charts but FusionCharts already has professional grade charts out of the box. Depending on the kind of charts you need Adobe charting might be sufficient.
Have a look at these examples : http://www.fusioncharts.com/PowerCharts.asp http://www.fusioncharts.com/gadgets/Gallery.asp ILOG Elixir seems to be the only similar option for Flex users but the provide only a small subset of the FusionChart and their pricing is quite exorbitant.
