Dynamic charting using Flash

I am trying to draw financial charts on my webpage displaying stock
prices and volumes that are updated very 5 mins. So, my chart should
be able to make changes to the chart as and when new data is added.
For this purpose I want to use Flash or any other application that
might make it possible. Do I need to have ColdFusion installed on the
web hosting server for this purpose ?? Any help in this matter will be
greatly appreciated. I have never programmed in Flash, but I am very
proficient in Java and C++, so if you can suggest anyway I can create
dynamic charts on my webpage then it will be really great.

Please reply,

Vivek

A simple <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300"> in the head would do that,

If you want to get fancy use server side scripting to adjust the delay so
that the refresh comes soon after the data on ther server is updated.

for a better look use frames and only update the frame with the data, or use
javascript (xmlHttpRequest) to do tretrieve the update data.
