I am feeding data to a chart from an arraycollection. When I test it by
using a literal to create the data object the chart works fine, but when
I assemble the data piece by piece, the chart fails. A correction of my
syntax would be great, and explanation even better!
I have tried creating an object, then using addItem to add it to
simpleData, and I have tried using addItem directly in simpleData, and
here I try it using a string- the result is, as you can see from the
trace output, that it was added as an array, not an object.... at least
thats what *I* see.
