RE: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one
Ha! I figured out the xml thing. i.e. why when referencing
01, I had to use a 1.
chartXML.lastResult.month[1].day
Month[1] is an array reference! I figured it out when I wasn't getting
any data for December! :)
You probably knew that but I didn't. I thought I was directly
referencing/compariing on the "02" string for month_name. However, I
was referencing the array position for month_name.
Thanks!

My first thought was why the remote end sends back the month, so I guess
you
have all 12 months on screen at once ?
If, as you say further down, it's an '02'/'2' thing, just change either
the
Flex or the remote end so it does what you want.

RE: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one
I can have all 12 months on the screen at once, that will be my year
view. Or I can do the month[number] thing to refence one month. I'm
tyring to put as much data into a single xml file as I can, and the just
hook the dataprovider up to sub sections of it. E4x's xpath like sytnax
allows me to do this (very nice).
Here is the code for moving through months. The component simply throws
up an additional menu that lets the user choose from different chart
types (using the same data set). I have to use the menu until I can
figure out how to enable horizontal access labels to be clicked upon
(allowing me to catch the event and the go to the charts for that
month). After I get v 1 out the door I can probably make the component
even more generic so that it will work for any time period from year
down to hour.
Yes, my first little Flexlet ;)

RE: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one
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.

RE: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one
Ok, I have, thanks to this group made a LOT of progess here. This is my
first flex project and I'm trying to get a cool charting site up while
everybody is interested in a cool charting site.
I think I have figured out the problem. But, just to give some
background
This is what my HTTPService call looks like:
http://path/createXML.php";
resultFormat="e4x">
Program views month data for 6 groups, provides year views, with month
drilldowns.
A single MONTH component offers line, clustered, stacked, and 100%
charts for the given month.
Data provider for the chart looks like this"
dataProvider="{chartXML.lastResult.month[02].day}"
That would the feb component. There are 4 charts in here. I change
charts by changing state. Charts are changed by using a combo box and a
case statement. For each state I use activate to call "chartXML.send()".
Although I'm not sure why I have to do that. I thought the flash client
cached its data. (Yes, this is called programming by throwing mud at
the wall and seeing what sticks).
In the component I declare at the top:
[Bindable]
public var month_number:String = "02";
I use the component like this:
And it turns out that I had everything right but I was putting "02" in
the month. HOWEVER, this IS what is in the xml. The xml is like this:
02
However, "02" doesn't work. "2" works. Does XML ignore zero?

[flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one
I'm new to flex so there may be an obvious way to do this that I am missing. In my charts, my users want to drill down from the month view to the days of month view by clicking on the month name (categoryAxis, categoryfield) for the horizontal axis. However, from what I can see CategoryAxis has no mouse events (or any other events) associated with it. So my question is specific but may have broad application. 1. How do I add events to an item that does not have any? 2. How do I associate this event with a layout on the screen where the object seemingly keeps no reference to position? The only thing I can think of is pursuing looking at the fully rendered chart, figuring out x and y coordinates of the items (from an eyes on view), and then making areas of the screen clickable (and able to generate events). This does not seem very generic though and seems heavily dependent up on eyes on the screen (which seems fraught with peril to me). Suggestions? Since I'm new to flex, it would really help me if the answer could be tied specifically to the categoryAxis issue thats stumping me. brad
