Create a 3D Bar Chart in AS3 and HTML5

I have to create a 3D Bar chart in Flash(AS3) and HTML5 which takes up input from a source and generates the graph, and they both should look alike, so what options do i have?? i mean are there any open libraries which will assist me to do it? (it should be Open Source)

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

I would imagine you would maybe want to start with something like Haxe to have a common framework that compiles to multiple languages. I'm not aware of any charting libraries that use Haxe (or are built using Haxe rather), or that are written to have a parallel between AS3 and HTML/JS. Instead of having to use something like Haxe or writing multiple versions in different languages and having to keep them up to date you could have a server side java handle generating the chart (returning bitmap data), the only issue with this is if you want interaction on the chart which puts you sort of in the same boat again.

Another option is to roll your own I did something like a "3d" bar chart while out camping one weekend (took two full charges of my laptop battery, but got it done without the internet).

I actually put it in that charts folder with the intention of circling back around to clean this up and do Pie/Line ones with similar 3d effect (not actually using any 3d).

There's some decent tutorials on writing your own charts, so long as they don't get too crazy with the design you could probably DIY. Plus whichever language you're weaker with you can just port to every time, so you start strong then learn how to convert.
