Financial Charts

So, since Google browser is doing away with Flash in some very near future. Is there a way to take Flash charts and convert them to another source where every browser is able to display them? Thanks in advance.

Very much possible. Have you heard of Charts.js? I *guess* Nabeel is using that on phpvms7 
Take a look here > https://www.chartjs.org/samples/latest/charts/line/basic.html
It's very advanced as well as a very easy library to work with. Let me see if I can make a patch for the VA finance module.

Regards.

I'd recommend using highcharts.  It works very well with phpvms installs and is easy to implement in place of the flash charts.  See here as an example on a PIREP page:

I have version 5.5 is it still going to work? Anyone have any ideas where I can get some tutorials to learn it? Would love to see charts in action.

So, I have figured out how to work charts.js. But i am still confused on how to extract data from Finances page and insert it into the charts. I mean I could manually insert every month, but I have to believe that there is better ways to do it. Any ideas?

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js@2.8.0/dist/Chart.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
<script>
var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
	var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: {
        labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Purple', 'Orange'],
        datasets: [{
            label: '# of Votes',
            data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
            backgroundColor: [
                'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
                'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
                'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',

                'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
            ],
            borderColor: [

                }
            }]
        }
    }
