http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/budget.xml http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/expenses.xml http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/medals.xml http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/networth.xml http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/stocks.xml http://bigosmallm.github.io/flex/chartexamples/widgets.xml If we are fixing the examples, we should point to these urls for the data.
