A really hacky way would be to store the current mouse X and Y whenever the mouse moves anywhere on your Flex app, so when they click on a item in your context menu, you will have the mouse X and Y and can use the findDataPoints method on the chart to get the ChartItem(s), and hence the dataprovider.
Odd that the right-click is so hard to capture and use though; I thought it would've just have been a property on the MouseEvent. 2009/2/21 tungchau81 <[email protected]>: > I am not writing things in AIR, therefore, I cannot rely on > rightclick event. > > I assigned contextMenu of each PieSeries and ColumnSeries to my > custom ContextMenu.
