Thanks for the reply. I actually reverted to open flash chart and my other post on the rails forum is about it. I changed plugins because the other one is a more updated version I think. Yeah, flotilla looks good, but iv got a test bar chart working with openflashchart and am now trying to get a line chart working so i'll stick with that.
