Flash Graphs

swherdman · Nov 4, 2004, 09:37 AM

Im new round here, Had a quick serach on the forums but couldent find anything relating ot this

i was just wondering if anyone knows how the graphs such as in http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/...ic%20tests.htm were generate? There done in flash i was just wondering if this was a program that generated them or they are made individually?

I'm guessing individually made....I've done them before, and I did them by hand...it isn't hard, so i don't see whay a program woudl eb made to streamline a process that simple.

cool, can I see your graphs?

I'd much rather drop some plots into the actionscript and let flash draw everything than constantly draw it by hand. It's actually something very worth streamlining because you can easily seperate the data from the presentation and most of the work is done by the presentation. The presentation can even become frivelous since it's write-once-and-forget. If you started from scratch everytime there wouldn't be fancy gradients and rising bars after a while.

If you had to dump some numbers into the same algorithm every day, would you open a new excel spreadsheet and create the formula everyday or would you save a spreadsheet with the formula that you can dynamically drop the numbers into?

if i can find my old economics program you're more then welcome to, yes...but I think it's gone

I can remake you a few if you're interested...the project was a fiscal comparison between ATi and nVidia, ironically enough

and yes..I am a nerd...and hate powerpoint, thus I make flash and tell my teachers its powerpoint

I am just looking for some graphs that look abit better then good old excel graphs. I have got a thing that will do graphs using php but are nowhere near what was done in the link above. Just looking for something for my website www.modcity.org

Example Flash Graph

it doesn't add up to 100%, nor is it made to scale(not TOO far off...but I didn't get out a calculator)...but you get the gist
