There are 6 steps involved in real-time generating dynamic charts with Swiff Chart Generator:

  1. The web user requests the URL referencing the server script (ASP.NET/ASP/PHP/JSP)
  2. The web server runs the script that creates a Swiff Chart object
  3. The Swiff Chart object loads a specified style file (ie chart template) that contains all the necessary layout and format parameters (chart types, colors, fonts, text format, animations etc)
  4. The server script and/or Swiff Chart accesses databases, text files, etc. and as a result.
  5. A Flash movie (or an image) is generated containing a chart that has the graphical layout specified in the style file and integrates the data accessed values.
  6. The Flash movie (or the image) is sent to the client browser as a direct response to the script request
