ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Charting In Flex Surface?
Mar 28, 2010
Do you have any recommendation for a free 3D charting library in Flex. To be more precise, I only need to draw surface (for now). Basically, I just need a chart that displays three axes (one should be timeline, and two should be linear axises) and the surface.
From what I have seen so far, two most popular free Flesh 3D libraries are Papervision3D and Away3D. Also, I've found one IBM library - ILOG Elixir that looks really nice, but it's proprietary (although, I haven't seen any surface examples for Elixir neither).
From what I have seen, Papervision3D and Away3D should do much more then 3D charting, but I haven't seen any examples on how to draw surfaces in any of them (except this line chart in 3D: [URL]..So, if anyone has a link to a documentation or some examples that would be great. Also, I'm interested to hear your opinion and recommendations on this topic.

I am trying to write a Playbook app using the AIR SDK, I need a surface of some kind that I can load a large image onto, then subsequently place some smaller images on top of and add the whole lot to a ScrollPane so I can pan it around the screen. I have tried by adding the image to a sprite and displaying that in a group in the application but the image does not show up. What is the correct surface kind I should be using here and how should I be loading the images? (currently using "Embed" and loading the image into a BitmapAsset.)
var scroll:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
scroll.setScrollContent(image);
scroll.update();
scroll.graphics.beginBitmapFill(icon.bitmapData);
scroll.graphics.drawRect(100,100,56,56);
scroll.graphics.endFill();
scroll.update();
This code causes a non-moving icon to be drawn behind the scrollContent, I want to add something on top of the scroll content that moves with it.

My PieChart has a dataTipFunction property
My PieSeries has a labelFunction property
I would like my dataTipFunction to return the same string that my labelFunction returns.
Example, I would like my dataTipFunction to return:
return [whateverMyLabelFunctionReturned] + someExtraStuffThatIAdd

DataTips in flex charting are a poorly documented and little-understood feature.There are three parts, the DataTip (by default a box with text inside), the DataTipTarget (default bulls-eye circle over the series' point), and the Callout (the line from dataTipTarget to DataTip box).How are these three elements created/drawn and how can they be customized?

I am trying to create some charts in Flex/FlashBuilder 4.5The issue I have it that the information I wish to display is the number of events within an area. I am using HTTP service to access a rails controller which is returning an XML list of the events.I need to figure out how to chart the number of events, eg number of records returned. There is no numeric value within chart, as there would be if I was charting sales or prices for example.

I'm relatively new to flex, and I'm developing a web app that needs to plot relatively large data sets (e.g. 20,000 pts divided among 8 separate curves) in a line chart. Flex built-in chart components render too slowly.Would javascript line chart render faster than Flex line chart? If so, is it possible to use a javascript-based charting solution instead of flex component, within the Flex application? Or, is this an impractical (or crazy) idea? Anyone doing this out there? How simple or complex is it?I'm hoping it's relatively easy to integrate a pre-developed solution like EST JS, HighCharts, etc. to simplify development.

I have multiple line charts in Flex Charting (3.x). The charts (and number of charts) are being dynamically generated, and are either of "type A" or "type B." The type of data on the Y-axis is different for type A then it is for type B. The x-axis is time.
Each chart is placed in its own VBox (with a few other things) that make up a larger canvas of the Type A or Type B. This VBox is given an absolute X position. It is very high priority that the different charts line up, so that comparisons (in time) can be made.
What ends up happening is that the vertical axis for some charts takes up more width then others, so the charts are no longer aligned in time.

I have a LineChart that contains multiple series, both LineSeries and PlotSeries, and I have a custom dataTipFunction set for the chart. However, I only want data tips displayed for line series, not the plot series. I have tried returning null from my format function, but that just displays an empty box. I have also tried disable mouse events on the plot series (by setting both mouseEnabled and mouseFocusEnabled to false), to no avail. Is this even possible?

Why do I need to do add extra namespace declarations (below) in a Flex 4.1 "MX only component set" project to get it to compile within Flash Builder? (It says mx:LineChart cannot be resolved when a chart is added via Design View, and datavisualization.swc is referenced.)
Is there a way I can get this to compile without adding these special xmlns:charts, xmlns:series and chartClasses to the declaration? (If I just leave the default namespaces and use mx:SomeChartComponent, it doesn't compile.)

I have been working on a charting flex document listing repository statistics for work and it can be seen here -http [url]...orialJorum.swf Unfortunately,my hard drive died last week and the MXML source files were wiped(I know I should have backed it up). As I cant really afford paying $80 to decompile to get the MXML script, I wondered if anyone could do it for me as I put many hours into that piece of work. I have tried using the demo version of SWF Decompiler and Trillix but unfortunately they only give you the component code and not the <script/>

I'm having a problem with labels disappearing on Flex's datavisualization.swc charts that are built on our build server via ANT and the Flex 3.3 SDK. I've made sure that our license is applied properly on the build server (hence no water marks), and I've made sure the exact same datavisualization.swc was copied from my dev machine into the Flex3.3SDK/frameworks/libs directory.
Could it be a font problem? (Though we're really only using default fonts.) Here's the problem, missing axis labels on the build server Here's how it's supposed to look with labels (taken on my local development machine)

I have two requirements for a flex charting component:
1) The grid lines should always remain fixed to a scaling I define using an array of data. Something like a graph paper sheet.
2) Plot multiple line series data over this grid.
How does one get complete control over the background grid lines? I have tried a combination of annotation elements and setting the linechart background elements. If I get the grid right, I can't plot over it (Probably due to the scale). how would one go about designing a graphpaper like interface for linecharts in flex/actionscript?

I'm new to Flex/AS3. I've attached an example line chart below. I want to know if this type of graph can be created using the standard line-series chart available in Flex (Flash Builder 4.6), or whether there's something drawn below that is non-standard and would therefore require some rather involved customization. The key features are:
-Different line styles and colors (dashed, dot-dash, solid, thick, thin, opacity)
-Placement of units (y-axis "seconds" and x-axis "Hz")
-x-axis zoom/pan control bar below graph (move knobs in and out to set x-axis min and max plotted values)
-Log x-axis scale, linear y-axis scale
-Data Tip (or, some call it tool tip, not shown below)
-SI units for x- and y-axis tick labels.
My guess is that everything should be pretty standard to accomplish using Adobe's built-in charting (with the possible exception of item 6, see below). Is that a good assumption?I'm particularly concerned about the x- and y-axis tick labels (item 6). For example, the x-axis tick marks as a number would be:1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000 but they need to be replaced with SI units, where k=1000, and M=1000000, so the corresponding marks would be (replacing the numbers above with the strings below)"1", "10", "100", "1k", "10k", "1M", "10M".The same goes for the y-axis, where p represents 1e-12, and n represents 1e-9.I can create an algorithm that accepts a number and outputs a string to do the SI unit conversion. But given that, is there a way to easily manage the tick mark labels to replace the default numbers with such strings?

I have a professional license of Flex 3.3. This allows me to create applications using the data visualization components (charts) without watermarks. However, all of release builds (test, production, etc) occur on our build server.
The build server only has the Flex SDK installed (not full Flex Builder). As a result the SWFs compiled with this SDK contain watermarks on all the charts. How can I apply a Flex Builder Professional license to the build server to remove the watermakrs w/o installing Flex Builder?My build environment is Flex SDK 3.3 + CruiseControl.NET + NAnt.

I'm looking for resources on making an interactive charting component in Adobe Flash without use of Flex (or, minimal use). That is, starting "from scratch" with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. Is there recommended reading? Perhaps a good recent book on the subject, or a detailed blog article, or an open source project to look at? I'm interested in the development process, and specific design patterns (for example, extending Sprite as the logical base class for your component).

I'm trying to make chart which is combination of bar and line chart using Flex Charting API . Here x axis would be common and y axis would be different. note that y axis got different range of value one is % and other is amount. Any one got idea how to make this chart. Here line chart would be staked on top of bar chart . The line chart and never over laid or drawn on top of bar chart.

There is something i do not understand, i'm making a Tetris like game and i want borders (limits) but when put an height and width to my MovieClip nothing appears.
Code:
public class Thugtris_V2 extends MovieClip
{
var ts:ThugtrisShapes;//ShapeManager.GetInstance().CreateShape(ThugtrisShapes.RLSHAPE);[code]....
I have second problem, i check my coordinates of my dropping shapes and my shape disapeared from the screen,fell completely down, and it's last coordinates were : pos = (x=-6, y=371).My bottom is suppose to be at 440? The entire screen does not "measure" 400 pixels? How can u get a negative coordinate,are'nt the coordinates suppose to be like texture coordinates, only positive and (0,0) is at the top left corner?How do u measure the pixels limits of the top DisplayObject? How are the coordinates actually "setuped"? Like cartesian but only the upper part?

I'm working on a game, and I'm a bit stuck on something that I think I'm really close to solving.
I have an actor, which I can move around on a platform (Top-down view)
The platform rotates, and I want the actor to receive the x- and y acceleration, so that it appears to be on top of the platform, and thus rotate together with it. I don't want the actor to rotate 'inside' the platform, because of some other constraints

This one concept has been bugging me for days now and I can't seem to solve it. You see, I'm trying to rotate my enemies along an uneven surface. So far, they follow along it perfectly, using my hitTestPoint collision checks.But I don't know how to rotate the collision points and thus rotate the movieclip along the curve so it remains clipped to the ground like in Fancy Pants Adventure 2 or a tanks game.Here is what it looks like right now

I've found several resources on these type of applications. What I want to do is "merge" 2 examples that I've found. This drawing application makes sense to me and I feel I can modify it to my liking. (sorry in advance I cant post links)

I'm working on a new site: [URL]. However, I've got some problems with my reflection of the mouse-pointer. The problem is that I don't know how to create the fake 3D effect, because now when you move your mouse over "Identity" the reflection is above the real mouse. I was thinking to put a mask, so the reflection cannot go above the real mouse, but then there is no reflection.

find weather one movieclips area on stage is equal or more than the other.. I mean, ok here it goes, I have some movieclips on stage, circle shaped exactly speaking. Any of these Mcs.onMouseDown event adds another circle to the stage which is a very small circle , and as long as the mousedown event continues it grows in size from the center.The idea is to fill the onstage circle mc with exactly he same size circle.This i could do if the mouse had been clicked exactly in the center of the onstage circle by comparing the width and height of both (I guess havent started doing it yet).
I want to check if the scaling circle has exceeded the bounds of the onstage circle which is bound to happen more often as the user can mostly never point to the exact center of the onStage circle and as a result the circle is going to go out of the boundaries of the onstage one. I have been racking my brains and me thinks that by creating a bitmap data of the onstage circle i could maybe find out when the being scaled circle bitmap stopped overlapping the onStage one. But i have no idea on how to do this ! It is jus something that came to mind from some example i saw somewhere but i jus cannot find it now .
