Dynamic graph... can this be done?

[jamiewi]

Hi. I've got an idea about creating some dynamic graphs.

What I'm wondering is this: With the drawing tools, is it possible to create lines between points based not on their x, y coordinates? Ideally, I'd like to be able to draw lines between two named points, irrespective of where those points may lie on the x and y axes.

Failing that - can a polygon be created and 'stretched' out - it's shape being dictated by the vertices' distance from a centre point?

Can either of these be done?

Any guidance would be massively appreciated.

Most anything should be possible in Flash. See this page for instance what can be done....

I did a linechart once with a very unorthodox aproach, using no angles ( as I dont know ) or traditional ways, but it works ( strangely enough ) .

Macromedia also has bar, pie and line chart components.
