We are happy to announce the availability of AnyStock, a cross-platform tool for implementing stock and financial charts in custom web and desktop applications. Perhaps, creating of AnyChart Stock has taken more time than anticipated, but we are proud of its quality and of the results achieved.
The component includes a wide variety of technical indicators and financial chart types, all of them being combinable. The ability to review long term and large data sets can be handled with scroll, pan, and zoom controls. Adding news events – analyst opinions, insider trading, dividends, and key developments – helps to analyze information.
It should be especially noted that the Resources section contains countless application samples and adjustments for JSON as well as XML, so developing and tuning charts in your application will be really easy.
Some of the key features are:
Show Significant Events Using Special Markers
 |
One of the most important features of AnyStock are Event Markers – a special type of chart markers that are created to provide best experience in showing Key Developments, Dividends, Splits, Insider Transactions, Analyst Opinion Changes or any other events on Financial charts. Event markers can be bound to a chart series or to the timeline. |
Real-Time Data Streaming and Data Manipulations
 |
A full feature set for creating real-time streaming and data manipulation applications is available. The JavaScript library coming with the component has methods that allow adding, updating, removing or inserting new data points or range of points. All the operations run fast and smart and allow setting new data without reloading the chart. |
Fully Configurable Localization
 |
The component allows localizing the appearance of date, time and numbers to suit the region’s language and cultural peculiarities. To make the localization even easier, a special utility was created that allows obtaining the required regional configuration in a matter of minutes. |
Advanced Interactivity
 |
AnyChart Stock is fully interactive. All of its navigation elements meet all the industry’s usability standards and are very comfortable in use. |
Attractive and Flexible Visual Settings
 |
All the visual elements are configured to provide the best user experience: mild and clear colors, intuitive controls, and so on. Almost every part of a chart can be quickly customized. |
We hope that you will appreciate the component. If you have any additional questions, our Support and Sales teams are ready to help you.

Robin Wauters from TechCrunch writes:
Last March, Adobe and Google jointly announced that Flash Player would soon come built in to the latter’s Chrome browser, eliminating the need for users to download, install and update it separately.
On Thursday evening, Google released Chrome 5.0.375.86 to the Stable channel on Linux, Mac, and Windows, with a fix for a number of security issues. More importantly, the integrated Flash Player has now been enabled by default.
As Stephen Shankland over at CNET points out, built-in Flash was previously only available in the developer and beta releases of the speedy WebKit-based browser, and the release to the Stable channel means the integrated plug-in is now available in its mainstream version.
The update comes a mere two days after Google re-enabled the integrated Flash Player plug-in by default in the Beta channel after disabling it for some time.
Not only is Google giving Adobe’s Flash technology another vote of confidence (Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile, which was announced earlier this week, will be rolled out on Android 2.2 phones first), but the integration also means any updates to Flash Player will be delivered directly via Google Chrome’s updating system, ultimately minimizing security risks that tend to surface when one uses outdated software and components.

We were getting strange bug reports during several years, and the main idea of that reports is the fact that memory in Internet Explorer 6/7 with Flash Player 9/10 leaks when user refreshes the page. We have spent a lot of time and money trying to locate it, we lost a lot of clients. It was a nightmare for everybody in our support and development teams. We have blamed Adobe and Microsoft, but we never could even think that it is not their fault. And today the miracle has happened. We have tested on two different PCs: one of of them had the memory leak, the second one did not. And the reason of the problem was… Internet Explorer Skype add-on.
