I agree 100% but there are situations where static graphs are required. If you read my OP you'll see that I have a requirement to create printer-friendly pages and to generate PDFs of my reports -- including the graphs. How can I do this without having static images of my graphs? Even Corda Highwire (arguably the best PDF website PDF generator available) doesn't support flash movies -- how could it possibly know which frame of the flash movie to capture which would produce the desired "snapshot"?

While static graphs are not bad > per se, they simply don't rise to spectacular. We currently use a combination of 2 commercial products: FusionCharts and Corda PopCharts. I have no problem paying for superior technology. Let the flaming begin..... No flaming necessary ;) Jon -- What's this?
