Unless I am missing something (entirely possible) it looks like Darron is just pulling the y value for the event while clicking on a datapoint. I had already figured out how to do this (thanks to a post here). What I need to do is to be able to click on the actual labels in the horziontal access and generate an event that allows me too pull up a detail chart for that time period. I have some books that have info about adding events to something that doesnt have it. So I'll research that and let y'all know. [The newbie problems that I'm bound to run into!] brad

Its part of the google flexlib project. I'll let y'all know how it works for me. Ok, now I think all my major hurdles are taken care of in my project. The the inability to put a variable name an e4x result as a dataprovider to a chart is going to cause me to have to create hard coded components (because I cant figure out how to put a **bindable** month name variable into the chart data provider). But that's not a show stopper.....it just means more files to create and keep track of. brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 11:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one On Tuesday 05 Feb 2008, Brad Bueche wrote: > 2.

Subclass CategoryAxis, implement IEventDispatcher (if the base class doesn't) and then add an event handler for the mouse click (etc) event. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to quickly deliver value-added information on: http://thefalken. <http://thefalken.livejournal.com> livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
