Most importantly, I would like to thank Isa and my family for understanding my long days and nights at the computer.
Many of the recipes in this book would not have been possible without the terrific work of all developers in the open source community.
And finally, I'd like to thank everyone at Packt Publishing for giving me this opportunity and supporting me with advice and careful follow-up.

The cookbook that you are reading will show you how to draw a myriad of graphs in ActionScript. ActionScript is one of the easiest ways to represent graphical information to users across browsers and platforms. It allows you to add a wide range of dynamic effects and interactions to your graphs and charts.
We'll start from the humble beginnings, explaining a little about the ActionScript display list and end at full-blown interactive 3D graphs. In between, you will get to see what goes into animating graphs, adding interaction, and much, much more.
