The problem is that I'm transferring an ActionScript object to the server,
populating it with
the data, and then returning the ActionScript via BlazeDS and remoting (so
these objects
get converted to Java objects on the server and back to ActionScript when the
come into
flex). And the ArrayCollection is buried deep in the the object and I also
build the series
items for the chart on the fly in Actionscript. So I don't have access to the
series items in
the chart I create (for instance to reassign the dataproviders), nor do I have
easy access to
the ArrayCollections themselves since they are buried in the ActionScript
objects. Here's
some pseudocode of how the charts get created which illustrates the problem.
in ReportObject
for each ChartObject in ReportObject
create CartesianChart
for each AxisObject in ChartObject
create DateTimeAxis and assign it to chart
for each SeriesObject in AxisObject
create Series and assign it to axis
bind SeriesObject.data to Series.dataprovider
So when I get the next ReportObject pushed to the flex app from the server, the
structure
of the Report is exactly the same (i.e. x# axes, x# series for a given axis,
etc) but the data
has been updated and the series do not pick this up.
