Dynamic charts with jquery and swfobject

I have a chart loaded with swfobject. How can I load the variables dynamically? As in changing the values without reloading the swf? Here is my js:

swfobject.embedSWF(
          "/media/open-flash-chart.swf", "chart-demo",
          "400", "250", "9.0.0", "/media/expressInstall.swf",
          {"data-file":"{% url monitor-graph %}"} );

Im using django, so I grab the data from the view pointing at "monitor-graphs". Thanks.

Solution

  • It appears you can use ajax to reload the data:

    tmp = findSWF("chart-demo");
x = tmp.reload("data.php?chart=2");

    A demo of it is here and an example of setting single values can be found here.
