We introduce a framework and class library (GAV Flash) implemented in Adobe's ActionScript, designed with the
intention to significantly shorten the time and effort needed to develop customized web-enabled applications for visual
analytics or geovisual analytics tasks. Through an atomic layered component architecture, GAV Flash provides a
collection of common geo- and information visualization representations extended with motion behavior including
scatter matrix, extended parallel coordinates, table lens, choropleth map and treemap, integrated in a multiple, time-linked
layout. Versatile interaction methods are drawn from many data visualization research areas and optimized for
dynamic web visualization of spatio-temporal and multivariate data. Based on layered component thinking and the use of
programming interface mechanism the GAV Flash architecture is open and facilitates the creation of new or improved
versions of existing components so that ideas can be tried out or optimized rapidly in a fully functional environment.
Following the Visual Analytics mantra, a mechanism "snapshot" for saving the explorative results of a reasoning process
is developed that aids collaboration and publication of gained insight and knowledge embedded as dynamic
visualizations in blogs or web pages with associative metadata or "storytelling".
