Dynamic charting using Flash

[vivekmahanta]

I am trying to draw financial charts on my webpage displaying stock
prices and volumes that are updated very 5 mins. So, my chart should
be able to make changes to the chart as and when new data is added.
For this purpose I want to use Flash or any other application that
might make it possible. Do I need to have ColdFusion installed on the
web hosting server for this purpose ?? Any help in this matter will be
greatly appreciated. I have never programmed in Flash, but I am very
proficient in Java and C++, so if you can suggest anyway I can create
dynamic charts on my webpage then it will be really great.

Please reply,

Vivek

So why the 'flash' title? Don't confuse the gaol
with a strategy.

Oh, wait a second..

Well, I wanted to use flash for this purpose because it seems to be
the approach that bloomberg, yahoo finance and google finance have
taken. Can you suggest any better way ??

Write it as an applet. It'll be "better" if your metric for better is
"on topic for the newsgroup you are posting in".
