1) rails ofc2_test_app
2) cd ofc2_test_app
3) script/plugin install git://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart.git
4) script/generate controller test_it
 
5) Add the following to the test_it_controller.rb in RAILS_ROOT/app/controllers:
class TestItController < ApplicationController
  
  def index
    respond_to do |wants|
      wants.html {
        @graph = open_flash_chart_object( 600, 300, url_for( :action => 'index', :format => :json ) )
      }
      wants.json { 
        chart = OpenFlashChart.new( "MY TITLE" ) do |c|
          c << BarGlass.new( :values => (1..10).sort_by{rand} )
        end
        render :text => chart, :layout => false
      }
    end
  end
 
end
 
6) Add the following to index.html.erb in RAILS_ROOT/app/views/test_it/:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/swfobject.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<%= @graph %>
</body>
</html>

Example
=======
 
Example above and more to follow here - http://www.pullmonkey.com/projects/open_flash_chart
 
Notes
======
The plugin breaks if the json gem is included, because of the way that the gem generates json vs the rails native json generator.
 
Not tested, but klochner claims to have implemented a fix for it here - http://github.com/klochner/open_flash_chart/commit/00cf531387880af8c49ed5118737f0492b437f75
