Orthochronos Charting Module
One of my biggest Flash-based projects to date was the creation of an interactive charting applet for stock market modeling software. Orthochronos, the company that developed the modeling software - hired Net Perspective to develop a website where stock traders could make use of the otherwise raw data output from their software.
The center piece to the site was a versatile, robust and customizable charting module programmed in ActionScript 3. The final product at Orthochronos.com is avaible only to subscribed Orthochronos members; however, the video below provides a demonstration of the application.
The application works by making XMLHttpRequests to PHP scripts on the server to retrieve a data set. The server loads precompiled data and returns it in a serialzed format to ActionScript. Using just the charting module's interface a user can navigate to current or historic model data for any stock ticker without the need to redirect the browser.
