For the parameter, this method takes either an XML string or a JavaScript object. Here is the simplest call example:

var chart = new AnyChartStock("./swf/AnyChartStock.swf"); chart.setConfig({ data: {} settings: {} });

var chart = new AnyChartStock("./swf/AnyChartStock.swf"); chart.setConfig({ data: {} settings: {} });
