YUI Charting Tool Coming?
According to this post on the YUI group, the YUI team will be releasing a charting component. Based on YUI’s Datasource, the new control will ultimately render charts in Flash.
Most high-quality charting apps (MeasureMap / Google Analytics) run their charts on Flash/Flex as it is. I’d love a skinnable, charting tool that would let me write JavaScript and let the API fill in the details, though. (It would also save me from buying Flex + Flex Charting tools.
) I’ve been looking for an OSS JavaScript-based charting package forever; hopefully, this will fit the bill.
I wonder if this is a collaboration between the YUI team and the still-new Yahoo! Flash team?

To add to your speculation, you might be interested to know that the Yahoo! Flash Developer Center already offers some open source Chart components for Flash developers.
