Christi,

Good catch. I am not as sophisticated as you are in your code poetry,
but I am trying to hack through Motion Charts also. I tried the switch
bar/bubble thing on Baltimore Murders chart and you are right (http://
sites.google.com/a/ubalt.edu/buildingsite/Home/motion), the variables
have no glue. This chart has only 3 columns (so far), manner of
murder, year, and number. The bug was evident there.

On my one of my more complex chart (http://sites.google.com/a/
ubalt.edu/nonprofits/home/health) plotting the health of nonprofits in
Baltimore, with 16 columns (spreadsheet also linked there), the bug
did not manifest itself, although I did receive a time out error once.
(I work with old rickety hand-crank machines).

>From watching the more complicated chart when switching from bubble to
bar, it appears the x-axis changes to a "sort" to highest to lowest
(left to right) of whatever the y-axis is. Upon returning to bubbles,
in this complicated chart, the x-axis return to normal.

I don't know why this is, and you are farther ahead then I am, but a
possible work around is to somehow (and I don't know how), program in
a "reload page" when the person clicks to switch back. It is hard to
tell if this is Google or Flash, but if there is a command to "reload
page" in between it appears you could be safe.

I have a hard time with the notion of chopping off the x-axis thing,
because that reduces a relativity point for me. Is the x-axis years,
projected outward? I am more lax about what I want to show, and just
told viewers to "play with the controls" to see what they could learn.
Plus, I am leaving all my data open in lists, because I am trying to
draft others to input the data to see what we can learn together
(University).

I appreciate you sharing this with me and your past posts, because I
have a million of these charts in my mind.

Thanks,
