Adobe Flex: creating a chart from a .xls/.csv output file?
Hello there! Longtime lurker, first time poster in H/A. Anyway, I have need of help for a project at work. Right now, I have an application with a Flex front-end that creates various reports. The reports are generated by Perl scripts that currently output in .xls format, but could easily be changed to .csv.
I'm looking for a way to use either Perl or Flex to create charts from the output file. I was looking at AMCharts, but that seems to have too many variables and settings that would have to change from report to report to be useful. Also, in the Perl scripts, I'm not using any kinds of modules or anything. Just straight up opening the .xls OUTFILE, writing to it, and closing it.
