MX Charts are very flexible and use composition much like the Spark architecture. I don’t know if/when we’ll create Charts on the Spark base classes. I decided to see how far I could get by putting a bunch of DataGroups and a custom collection and layout into play.
Usual caveats apply. There are bugs, missing features, etc. But it might be a starting point if you need to throw some charts on the screen on top of the Spark.

    Hi Alex,

    I’m trying to optimize an app that uses a lot of the base charting components of Flex 3.5. But, boy, they sure render slow which is a Debbie-Downer on user-interaction with the charts.

    Any idea on if or when we’ll see updated and more efficient chart components?

    In the meantime, do you have any suggestions?

      Use the profiler to see why it is slow. If you are animating the charts, consider using cacheAsBitmap.
