[flexcoders] Re: adding mouse events to annotation items in a chart

[Tim Hoff]

Just add an event listener to the label; before you push it to the
array:

var annotations:Array = new Array();

var lbl:Label = new Label();
lbl.text = "annotation";
lbl.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onAnnotationClick);
annotations.push(lbl);
myChart.annotationElements = annotations;

private function onAnnotationClick(event:MouseEvent) : void
{
         Alert.show("I got clicked");
}
