Who this book is for

This book is for anyone interested in creating interactive and dynamic graphs in ActionScript. Some programming knowledge is required to understand the examples, preferably in ActionScript 3, but you will be able to understand most of the code if you know any modern object-oriented programming language (for example, Java or C#).

Although an understanding of the ActionScript 3 display list will be very useful, it is not a requirement. The parts needed for drawing graphs are all explained in the first chapter and throughout the book whenever something new is introduced.
