Seth, thanks for the reply.
What I'm wondering is how to trick the server into running the
browser in a headless
environment.
Does anyone know how to get flex to run this way, in the background?
Thanks,
DJ

If you're rendering the charts in the browser player and then
pushing a bitmap back to
the server, that needs to run in a browser (or in AIR, also not
headless).

Subject: [flexcoders] flex and automation
There are no flex user groups in my area and I've been trying for
a long time to find a
solution to this problem with no success.
I need to generate a series of charts every few minutes/hours/
days on an automated
basis. I
pull the data for the charts from the database and draw the
chart, then save it as an
image
and potentially notify someone where they can find the image as a
png or a pdf.
I am using java on the backend to communicate with the database
and flex to draw the
charts. The same app which draws the chart can also be called by
a user to get a live
snapshot. But the automation just isn't working. It works fine on
my local development
machine, but this application is deployed on a headless server
and the flex process
never
gets to launch since it needs to run on a browser. I've looked at
solutions for getting it
to
run headless but so far I can't get it to work.
Does anyone know how to automate flex in this way? I know flex is
meant to be
interactive,
but is there anyway I can still use the flex charting for
automated output?
