| Summary |
Step-by-step instructions guide you from your very first graphical program to highly complex 3D presentations. Although a few recipes explain charts in Flex, this book is firmly focussed on using ActionScript code and data to draw graphs. The ""ActionScript Graphing Cookbook"" is aimed at any ActionScript developer who wants to add data visualization to their skill set. The reader should be familiar with ActionScript basics, but no deep knowledge of any graphical functions is required. |
