I want to emulate the datatip feature on google finance here URL...whereas the datatip does not appear over the chart when you hover over, but instead is anchored in the top right header of the chart. How do I go about doing this? Thx in advance!
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesI have a datagrid with one datagridcolumn in it. Without a custom itemrenderer I can use a datatipfunction for showing a custom datatip but now I want to have a custom item render for colouring the rows differently.Therefore I extended a label and changed the data method but now my datatipfunction does not work anymore.
View 3 RepliesWhy 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'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 using a Flex ColumnChart with a custom dataTipRenderer. I'm able to apply a nice skin with the dataTipRenderer, but am not sure how to move the datatip to be centered. Is there a way to have the chart center the data tips over the column instead of the normal top-right alignment the chart does?

how to skin the datatip of a hslider component.

I have a following issue:My task is to style a datatip for two charts in Flex 4.5.Both charts reside in two different <Group> based components which are added to the <Application>
So after a thorough research here is what I tried to do.First applying a css descending selectors:
#container#chart1 chartClasses|DataTip{
backgroundColor:white;
backgroundAlpha:0.01;
[Code]....
Then I would like to be able to get access to the instance of the CustomDataTip class.But I can't .So currently the only thing I can do is to create a distinct custom datatip renderer class for each chart.That could be fine if you have only a couple of charts you want to style but what can we do if we have many of them?
I would like to show a dataTip on a flex chart by setting the selectedIndex property of the AreaSeries. For instance, if selectedIndex = 2, then a dataTip appears over the third item in the series. Is this possible in Flex 3.5? .

View 1 RepliesI'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).
View 1 RepliesDo 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 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.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 3 RepliesI'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 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.

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component

Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
