Flex Organization Chart Component
Posted on February 11th, 2010 12 commentsIt’s been one hell of a long time since my last update.
Ever since I’ve been working as a freelancer, time to spend experimenting with Flash has been very few.Nevertheless, I’d like to showcase this custom built Flex component :
This movie requires Flash Player 10As you may notice by the choice of image, it was developed for Telenet, as a way to represent their organizational structure.
The component is fed by a zipped XML file, containing up to 3000 profiles.Code has been optimized to display loads of profiles at once, and keeping performance on par.
The component also boasts drag and drop features and is fully skinnable.Top-right you’ll notice a small menu, use it to go either fullscreen, or to start looking for a specific person. Do keep in mind that all data has been replaced with dummy data, normally you can look for firstname, lastname and department in the input field.
Last but not least, the data generating this chart, is retrieved from Org Publisher. I’ve witten a Java parser to convert the OCB filetype to a ZIP which this Flash loads. So you could view this component as a glorified Org Publisher frontend.
The component has already been reused in a different project, where the profile data is replaced by Flex charts, displaying just how well a certain employee has performed over the past year. You’ll understand I can’t just put that online
More updates coming soon, there’s much in the pipeline, just need to find some time!

Will you be able to provide the source code for the Org Chart?
-
This org chart is so cool, and I wonder if the component may be open-sourced or commercially available. thanks!

This is very cool. Is the coponent open-sourced? Can we get the code
-
Not at the moment, but maybe later.
For now it can only use a zipped xml file as dataprovider (as it was built as front-end for orgChart), it would need to be extended to be more in line with the way current Flex/Spark component dataproviders work.When available, I’ll post the sources.

Great looking chart! I’m also very interested in the source, as we desperately need it for an application we’re developing. Hoping you can post it soon! Furthermore, I don’t mind paying for it for a reasonable cost. Please contact me directly if it is possible to do so.

The org chart has been rewritten from scratch, see http://blog.frankula.com/?p=189 for demo and source.
