The Array that is being passed in to the class, is in the format of
Object, not Array. The array is coming from an ArrayCollection, and I
am using getItemAt to reference it.
Below is my PieChart class.
It will display the first object in the array as an item in the chart
legend, but only the first object. Maybe my array isn't formatted right.
So if this is my array that is being passed in:
Array({label: 'A', label: 'B', label: 'C', label: 'D'});
..the legend is showing A, and only A
public class CustomPie extends PieChart{
public var alternateLegendData:Object;
public function CustomPie(){
super();
}
override public function get legendData():Array{
trace("CustomPie: " +
ArrayUtil.toArray(alternateLegendData));
var tmpArray:Array = new Array();
if (alternateLegendDataArray != null){
tmpArray = alternateLegendData as Array;
}
return tmpArray;
}
}
}
