Google Analytics AIR Beta
Someone forwarded me a link to this today and I was absolutely blown away. I spend the majority of my time creating reporting dashboards for my current employer, and Google Analytics is very similar to the solutions we try to achieve at the office.
In addition, I use Google Analytics for stats tracking on my own personal sites, and while their interface for use is great, I love the fact that Nicolas has put together a Flex/AIR interface for this. I'll be getting involved in testing/giving feedback, and I'd encourage others to check it out and do the same. I'd like to think this blog appeals to the more "charting-oriented" of us, so hopefully there's a few of you who will enjoy this as much as I do... :-)

I have a big charting project to do reading data from an oracle db. I've been working with flex about 3 weeks and I have charts working, I can interact with php/xml on the server. (I already have a php front end for doing oracle queries). And I have figured out how to do chart drill downs and offer multiple chart types for the same set of data. What I need to be able to do now is allow the user to drill down into the horizontal access labels (usually a date). So for example they want to drill down into the month and see all the data for all the categories (in the series of the chart) within that month by day. If I could figure out how to hook up an event to something that does not offer an event interface I'd be good to go.
