Can I use asynchronous update on a chart I generate from my own DB Package?

Question

I have created a database package that will generate a stacked bar graph in SVG with dynamically generated series based on a requirement I have been given.
I would like to know if it is possible to take advantage of the asynchronous update mechanism available on Application Express for its own SVG charts?
That is, as long as the package as a callable URL, can it be made to refresh as if it were a native SVG component of Application Express?

Hello,
Do not split your posts up across different threads askign for the same thing, it confuses the subject and makes it harder for people to help you.
Asking a question should not be like a shotgun more like a sniper rifle, guess whos been playing first person shooters latley ;)
Use this code in your plsql package to link in the correct javascripts.
htp.prn('<script xlink:href="'||v('IMAGE_PREFIX')||'javascript/svg_js_includes/svg_common/oracle.svgInit.js"/>');
htp.prn('<script xlink:href="'||v('IMAGE_PREFIX')||'javascript/svg_js_includes/svg_common/oracle.svgNodes.js"/>');
htp.prn('<script type="text/ecmascript">');
htp.prn('<![CDATA[');
htp.prn('function htmldb_Load(evt){');
htp.prn(' myTimer = setTimeout('svgSync();','5000');');
htp.prn('}]]>');
htp.prn('</script>');
and add attribute to the top level &lt;svg> tag
onload="htmldb_Load(evt)"
that will reload yoru svg every 5 seconds
