VBScript Sample Code

The following VBScript code illustrates use of the ExportAsFile method.

'Create the chart series
Dim values_1(2)
Dim values_2(2)

values_1(0) = 10
values_1(1) = 20
values_1(2) = 30

values_2(0) = 100
values_2(1) = 200
values_2(2) = 300

chart.AddSeries
chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 0, values_1

chart.AddSeries
chart.SetSeriesValuesFromArray 1, values_2

'Set the graphics settings from a style file
chart.LoadStyle "C:\myStyle.scs"

'The chart is complete, we can now generate the movie
chart.ExportAsFile "C:\myFlashMovie.swf"
