Hi Jason. I'm sorry to hear you say that. Writing a custom renderer is
a straightforward thing to do. I'd be happy to walk you through the
process more if you like. Everyone's idea of a barchart or a piechart is
a little different from the next guy's idea of the same, so the flex
charting platform focused on building an extensible platform to allow
you to get exactly the chart you want rather than trying to guess ahead
of time at all the features someone might want. This kind of
functionality is exactly the type that is was written for.
Ely.

Thanks for the suggestion. I sure hope they intend to improve this, as
it seems a fairly basic charting feature. As it is, I think we'll go
with FusionCharts instead. Now if only I could get it to work with
Flex...
