Hi,

I need to generate a chart with graphic links, buttons etc for the web.  
SVG would be fine except IE doesn’t support it natively as far as I can  
tell. I can’t rely on a SVG plugin being present, however I can rely on  
flash being present(!) so I’m looking for a ruby → flash binding.

I have found two so far - none of which look particularly viable

- Ming/Ruby ([http://madscientist.jp/~ikegami/ruby/ming/](http://madscientist.jp/~ikegami/ruby/ming/)) - does anyone  
know if it is possible to get it running on windows?
- Alph ([http://alph.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl](http://alph.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl)) the site has been  
spammed… does it work? on windows?

is there any other solution I’m missing?

Many thanks,

Toby.
