Since Line&Area chart v 1.0.9 reloading data automatically is possible. However I strongly recommend to turn off zoom function if you are going to use this function, otherwise the user may be confused if data reloads during zooming. The syntax is the same as in column chart:
<reload_data_interval>5</reload_data_interval>
would mean that data will be reloaded every 5 seconds.
As flash cashes data, there is one additional parameter:
<add_time_stamp>true</add_time_stamp>
this would mean that then loading data flash will add additional time stamp to url and data will be renewed every time.
For those, who tried to use this feature with column chart v 0.9.4 I suggest to upgrade to the newest version of column chart, as there was a bug: after some time of reloading data error occurred.
[...] If only we had found amCharts great little bar, pie and line charts, totally flexible. They also have a blog here. [...]
congratulations for your work , fanstatic
Exactly the feature I was hoping for, I can’t wait to try it out!
Congratulations, you’ve done something great ! I’ve a question about reloading data inside a framework like code igniter. I’d need to exclude a timestamp to be added after datafile URI on realoading.
– I’m using the flashMovie.reloadData() method lauched by clicking on a link.
– Datafile is dinamically generated (php) inside an MVC framework, codeigniter
– This framework, unfortunately, doesn’t manage GET parameters so that any URI in the form “something?something” causes a 404 error
I tried to set add_time_stamp to false, ma nothing changed.
Is there a workaround to avoid this ? Thanks !
