Today AnyChart programmers have released the new version – 4.1.1 with one very exciting improvement – the performance while loading the data. They say that some research work in the area of nanotechnology and the latest results in CPU engineering were involved 😉 and here it is – https://www.anychart.com/download/
Some tests with huge data sets show the improvement in 30 times – awesome! Now it is very fast!
Yes – I believe in nanotechnology and that words about CPU engineering, but I still think that we deal with some black magic here. 🙂
Of course it is a joke about nanotechnology, actually a lot of work was done to optimize the processing of data and tuning the loading of XML and we’ve got the result. I’m sure AnyChart users would appreciate that and like the new release.

Interesting in URLLoader and URLRequest.
If you are trying to load file using relative URL, that contains colon (“:”) and dot(“.”) in param values, you receive security error:
e.g.:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/test.flash?p=smth::else");
or
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("./test.flash?p=smth::else");
are not valid URL’s for Flash Player because flash player doesn’t escape “:” in urls.
You should use absolute URL’s for it:
e.g.:
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/test.flash?p=smth::else");

Like the instrument panel in a car, the computer version-dashboard displays critical info in easy-to-read graphics, assembled from data pulled in real time from corporate software programs. Dashboards deliver the detailed information needed by everyone for day-to-day decision-making. Simple yet powerful analysis allows any user to discover vital trends in business performance and continuously monitor the performance of your organization at all levels and in real time.
Dashboards provide your business with real-time business intelligence across all areas of your company – from accounting and sales, to fulfillment and support. The Dashboard offers instant snapshots of your designated key performance indicators (KPIs), and provides real-time trend graphs and ad hoc reports appropriate for each role in your business. With direct drill-down capability, you can move from a summary level directly to greater detail, and you can see real-time information to proactively manage for better results.
While most enterprise dashboards in production are probably still custom built, we provide you a new way of dashboard creation – using AnyChart Flash Component Dashboard mode. Since all charts created by AnyChart Flash Chart Component are rendered using a single swf file it is very easy to place such swf file to your web-site and provide it with an XML configuration file that configures a dashboard.
In this article we will create step-by-step a sample dashboard, at first – we will make a static one – that can be used for presentation purposes, and then – we will add interactivity, which makes dashboard a really useful and modern tool of business data analytics. We’ll go thought all steps from “paper-design” created by hand to the interactive Flash dashboard.

As I promised I’ve uploaded source code for solving the problem with flash content printing in Firefox and an example of its usage in Flash.
FFPrintFix library was extended and now it is called ACPrintManager. Now it is not only bug fix for printing, but also content control for printing from a browser.
See all details here:
