There are multiple ways to tackle this problem. However, I can't think of any off the top of my that are as easy as just assigning a new color.
What I would do is set some sort of flag on the data in itemClick saying that the data has been selected, and set the new color there. I would couple that with a custom column renderer that displays a different color based on the e.g. chartItem.item.color property. For an example of creating your own column chart renderer, have a look at Ely's charting code. He's the master of Flex charting, and his examples are wonderful to learn from. http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/chart-sampler/ Specially, take a look at the demo app here: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/ChartSampler/app.html Expand "Customization" and click "Per Column Colors" to get an idea of what you might need to do. The complete source code is available. It doesn't directly solve your problem, but should get you close. -d ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/message.cfm/messageid:4578 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.37
