FusionCharts for Flex > Installation > Installation Modes > Flex Builder 2 Integration

We have integrated FusionCharts with the Flex Builder development environment as an external library module. In order for FusionCharts to function properly, you must declare the FusionCharts for Flex as a library component in Flex Builder 2.

Steps to Follow

For convenient integration of FusionCharts for Flex with Flex Builder 2, we would suggest you to follow the instructions below.

  1. Create a new Flex project with which you want to associate the FusionCharts for Flex module. To create a new project follow the path File » New » Flex Project.
  2. Open the project properties by right-clicking the project and then move to Flex Builder Path » Library Path » Add SWC .


  3. Locate the FusionCharts.swc Shockwave Component present at DISTRIBUTION_ROOT/Charts and add it as a library module. The DISTRIBUTION_ROOT root is the location where you have downloaded and extracted the FusionCharts for Flex archive.
  4. Copy the fusioncharts folder from DISTRIBUTION_ROOT/Charts to the PROJECT_ROOT/src folder. This folder holds all the chart Flash objects.
