As said before, a highly recommended reference for interactive data visualization is Visualizing Data by Ben Fry, not in the least because the approach described is tightly connected with processing and its underlying philosophy of creative intuitive understanding by computational means. However, also the flex/as3 related references are worthwhile because they give access to the display environment of flash, which is the dominant media technolgy for (business-related) web-applications.
