It looks like you're creating a String that looks like the code for the
object (i.e., "{ foo: 'bar' }"), and then casting that to Object. That
won't do what you want. The thing is still a String. You need to
actually programmatically create the Object.
Alternately, you can use the JSON.decode() methods in some library
(flexlib? or maybe corelib?) after programmatically constructing that
String, but that's a completely backwards way of doing it. In the AS2
days, I believe you could also have used eval() to do this, but it's not
hard to just construct the object itself programmatically.
The code you need to change is inside the loops you've omitted.
for each row:
var currItem:Object = {};
then inside that loop, for each property you want to graph:
currItem[element.name()] = element.valueOf();
and then outside that loop, but inside the per-row loop:
simpleData.addItem(currItem);

Can I define this better? Anybody got an idea?
