There are various charting packages for Flash. The best one I believe so far is probably Flex Charting. However for topology charts you have to go the custom route for that. In your case I don't think you need to consider AJAX as Flash can suite your needs in that department. Flash has a pretty extensive vector drawing API and a pretty robust displayList API as well. If your coming from an environment like QT on Linux it should be a no-brainer to port some of your code. In the past I've been able to successfully port QT graphics code from linux API's to Actionscript 3 with very little effort. Hope this helps... cheers!
