Flex :: Pass The Array Values (not The Array Collection Values) To The Bar Charts Or Column Charts?

Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...

here is the thing i want:::

I have array values like this,,

array1 = [23, 49, 40, 239, 20, 80, 39,49,120, 24, 31,41];

and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....

I have two Qns,

1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.

2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)

I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
