Hi David,
As Patrick posted on the list, you can use the placefloat mechanism to get the whole chart splitted over several pages. In this case you will not be able to use interactivity within the chart.
I feel, that you want to split the chart over two pages. So you need to use
\FLOWcharts[...] (plural)
^
Use \showframe to see the actual margins, header and footer. You will have to play with the different parameters to make things fit. E.g. there is no room for 8 shapes on a A4 if you do not change the page-layout. Though it works with 7 shapes. If you want that the text follows directly the FLOWchart, then you need to withdraw the after=\page. You might want to increase the space between chart and text by e.g. after={\blank[3*big]}.
I hope this will help solving your problem

Hi Willi, Thanks for your comments, unfortunately this still hasn't helped me. I enclose below a simple sample that shows the problem. Any advice please?

\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\starttext
Some text to start it all off
\FLOWchart[place-st-low]
Now we want some text so that it looks like their is actually some more text at the end.
\stoptext
Thanks David Waller

Hi David,
If I remember correctly one should not use the \maxwidth option. Personally I have at this moment work under hand using the following setup:
\setupFLOWcharts [x=1, y=1, nx=5, ny=11, dx=\bodyfontsize, dy=\bodyfontsize, width=6\bodyfontsize, height=4\bodyfontsize]
\setupFLOWsplit [x=1, y=1, nx=5, ny=10, dx=1, dy=1, before=, after=\page, marking=off]
This works perfectly even with charts consuming multiple pages.
Kind regards Willi

Hello, I am using the charts module as part of context to produce flowcharts and I am having problems when the flowchart goes above a page in that I can't get the system to automatically split the chart. I have the following setup commands in my context file
\usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts[maxwidth=\textwidth, nx=4] \setupFLOWsplit[ny=9, before=, after=\page]
based upon the manual. I then use the command \FLOWcharts [bigchart]
later in the document and the flowchart does not split, instead it runs off the bottom of the page. I have also tried using \splitfloat with no success either.
