If there is, I haven't found it. We've got a similar requirement for being
able to capture charting output on a scheduled basis and have determined
that we'll more than likely have to drop the requirement unless we can get a
browser and supporting libraries installed on the server.

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?
