@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

Example
=======
# GOT THIS WORKING JSON wise ... haven't really tested too much further
data = []
for i in (0..31)
data << Math.sin(i * 0.2) * 1.9
end
chart = OpenFlashChart::OpenFlashChart.new
chart.title = OpenFlashChart::Title.new(:text => 'Area Chart')
area = OpenFlashChart::Area.new
area.width = 2
area.dot_style = OpenFlashChart::HollowDot.new
area.colour = '#838A96'
area.fill = '#E01B49'
area.fill_alpha = 0.4
area.values = data
chart.elements = []
chart.elements << area
y_axis = OpenFlashChart::YAxis.new
y_axis.min = -2
y_axis.max = 2
y_axis.steps = 2
y_axis.labels = nil
y_axis.offset = 0
x_axis = OpenFlashChart::XAxis.new
x_axis.labels = data
x_axis.steps = 2
x_labels = OpenFlashChart::XAxisLables.new
x_labels.steps = 4
x_labels.rotate = 270
x_axis.labels = x_labels
chart.y_axis = y_axis
chart.x_axis = x_axis
puts chart.render
