Actionscript :: Flex Charting - Fixing The Background Grid And Multi-line Plotting
Jan 19, 2011
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'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.

I have a problem with my ItemRenderer in Flex. I'm developping a mobile application and I'm using a list. One of the items is to set a date. But when the date is wrong I want to set a text in my messageField like : The To date must be after the From date.The problem is I don't know (and don't seem to find it anywhere) where you can set the messagefield in multiline.I read on a forum that's possible but no explanation how.Here you can see an example of what I want (the 5the item in the list is using multiline).[code]

I'm trying to plot data from several entities over time. Each entity will have its own line, so there will be several lines. Each line will be connected, but it's important that dots are drawn to represent data.
I'm aware of the linked bar chart, but at initial inspection, I can't seem to find one that offers me the ability to draw the dots. Anyone knows which library has this? I'm open to PHP, Flex, degrafa, whatever else that gets the job done.

When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

I am using the standard Flex 3 BubbleChart component and I would like to customize a couple of the grid lines separately from the rest.
I would like to highlight a gridline in the X-direction as well as in the Y-direction to show a quadrant.
Is there any way to customize the look and feel of a subset of gridlines within a Flex chart (i.e. bubble chart)?

I have a Flex Column Chart that has a range of 0 - 6 on the y-axis. I have added the following block to change the default colour of the horizontal grid lines to black.
<mx:backgroundElements>
<mx:GridLines>
<mx:horizontalStroke>
[Code]....
This works fine for all but the horizontal grid line at the top of the chart (at y=6). If I change the maximum value for the y-axis to something different then this new max doesn't have the formatting applied (but all the others do).
how do I get the top line to be black like the rest of the grid lines?

I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?

I wish to remove the thin origin line from the background of a Flex graph. I have converted one of axes to a Category axis and an origin line remains, that is now unwanted. The following seems to remove all the vertical lines as well as the origin

I have a project which, for all intents and purposes, attempts to create an online text editor/word processor. The key thing is that I need all multi line formatting to be retained and sent to the server. ie, if the user enters a bunch of text (all colors/bold/fonts and stuff are working great) which has a carriage return or a line wrap, I need a way of tracking that and inserting some kind of flag to let the server now to break to the next line at that point.this project is a client/server application so just storing the text string and expecting flash to be able to use the same size text box will not work.
I have created a function that detects keypresses and MOSTLY takes care of the carraige return issue (still not as solid as I'd like though). Basically, every time the user presses return, I store the length of the string and, when parsing the data for transfer, I insert newline chars at every index point where one is needed. This mostly works unless the user goes BACK and enters a return (still working on that little issue).But the word wrap part is killing me. I did find several discussions of using either total characters to determine how big the box is and where to break the line, or something along those lines, but here's the main issue with that:everything is dynamic. the user can change almost everything, from text font (so there will be variable font widths) text size (again, variable widths) to textbox size (so I can't go with a fixed pixel size to break the text). I've noticed that it was very easy to make a text box vertically dynamic, but the width seems to want to stay fixed (if set to multi-line) since the user will be changing this width, I'm just stuck.
if it means coding a huge set of functions that compares every possible font (i will be using embedded fonts eventually so they will be limited) with every possible size and then using that data to determine box size, that's fine, I'll do whatever I can to get this working, but there just has to be an easier way

I created a new class with private vars and public get properties.When I create a new instance of the class, it loads text files content to the private vars - it probably takes a bit of time to load it.After the new instance created, I try to get the value of the private var with the get property:
var item1:MyItem = new MyItem("0001");
trace(item1.ItemName);
Well, The output is blank.The string that ItemName points to is not undefined, it contains data.So, it's like a timing issue, and ActionScript is probably running the code using background multi-threading, so it's calling the trace command before it finished to run all methods in the MyItem c'tor (methods that load the text file data into the String var that ItemName points to).
Is there any way to force ActionScript avoid using this unwanted "background multi-threading", and run the code normally (by the order of the commands)? I mean like "Don't run the 2nd command until you finished running the 1st one".

I'm reading a 2d array from a .txt file, this is what I do:
Code:
[Embed(source = '../lib/lvl1front.txt', mimeType = "application/octet-stream")]
private var frontTxt:Class;
Then a bit further:
Code:
var fgString:String = new frontTxt();
foreGround = stringToArray(fgString);
The stringToArray function is where things go horribly bad:
Code:
private function stringToArray(input:String):Array
{
var output:Array = new Array();
[code]...
Notice the starting comma on every line except the first? I think it's the newline character somehow interfering, but I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing has helped.

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]

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 sending a dynamic multi-line textField text to a database. Upon receiving it back, it doesn't display it in multi-line format properly. I am also using htmlText, so it stores it all the font / size /etc in the database perfectly.This code shows you the textField attibutes, both the text I create and send to MYSQL, and the text I get back also calls upon these exact attributes
Code:
TF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
TF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
TF.useRichTextClipboard = true;[code]......
when I called upon the text from the database. It at least made it multi-line, but it messed it up a bunch also. My text is only 3 lines, but with wordWrap, it made it 8 and made it look off.Anyway, the text / font / color and everything comes in perfectly, except for the multi-line part.
