[osflash] using Flash in a web server env.. [newbie to Flash]

[dave]

Am trying to explore Flash for the first time for my
current application(draws some charts/topology/etc).

Here is my setup:
 application runs in web server(Jboss) on Linux
 supported client: IE/FF browsers on Windows

Can you please provide me some good starting pointers
before I dig thro' Google further.

Here are some findings so far:
 I came across Adobe Flex 3 as well as AIR. I guess I
may need to explore Flex 3? Is there a better
alternative?

 I may need to educate more on integrating Flash,http,
and Ajax may be? This should cover my application
setup above.

 Are there any special Linux libraries/apis(c++ or
java) for charting, and drawing topologies of various
layouts using Flash technology?

appreciate your help.
+D
