I've been asked a couple of times whether it is possible to integrate charts with flashChart in "normal" web applications. This has always been possible however since version 1.2.1 of flashchart it is much easier.

This article describes how to use the interfaces of flashChart for web applications. With a sample application it is explained step by step what is needed to integrate diagrams in Web applications. To understand this article it is necessary to have some basic knowledge of HTML and the scripting language PHP

With the samples provided here, you may get some hints or get some ideas how you could use flashChart. With the lastest releases vou now have lots of options how to setup charts and chart attributes. Please click on the sample image to see it.

With a pointing device such as a mouse, clicking a graphical element triggers a "mouse click" event (or click event). FlashChart now with version 1.2.0 is able to handle click events and may trigger actions. Possible are two types of actions:

1. navigate via "http" or "https" URLs to internal or external websites
2. execute javascripts

You define these actions on click events with parameters:

• onclick - relates to chart elements
• key_onclick - relates to legend (key) items
• alert_onclick - relates to chart elements where an "alert" has been triggered

Additionly you now may via new parameter "menu" (which will create a chart menu element) request execution of javascripts.

Modal windows are intended to grab the user's full attention, once they are called from their parent window. Many interface designers have recently taken steps to make modal windows more obvious and user friendly by darkening the background behind the window or allowing any mouse click outside of the modal window to force the window to close.

Since version 1.1.8 of flashChart you now may show charts, images and other web-contents (html or text) within "modal windows".
