Absolutely right. Using Web Viewers users can incorporate so many things into their FM solutions. FusionCharts Free for FileMaker is a free flash charting tool for FileMaker and it uses Web Viewer to generate charts inside FM solutions. The online documentation of the product explains well how to embed the charts in Web Viewer. It is a great resource indeed.
