Data Source for SWF Chart

Question

Hello
How would one go about reverse engineering a page such as the this one to work out where the data being used to create the chart comes from?

Many thanks

The best SWF decompiler I know of is from HP and is called SWFScan. You have to register with HP to download it, but it works well.

I ran it on the link you provided, and decompiled it. You would have to look through the source code and try to determine where it is being loaded.

You can also use a network monitor. For Flash, I recommend Charles which is a debugging proxy and will show you all the websites you are accessing through your browser. It also understands the Flash AMF protocol.
