Below is my DataTipFunction. The commented part on top works fine.
However, there is additional information that I need to include from the
XML file into the data tip.
When I mouse over the datapoint I would like to retrieve from the XML
file the additional child nodes that correspond with that datapoint. I
feel that I am very close and missing one piece. How can I accomplish
this dynamically by displaying the correct data for the series? Note, I
can have more than 1 series in the XML data file.
private function DTPFunction(o:HitData):String
{
//WORKS for data that is used on the chart x and y
values
//var s:String;
//s = "<b>" + LineSeries(o.element).displayName + "</b>
\n";
//s += "<b>Books:</b> " +
LineSeriesItem(o.chartItem).yValue + "\n" + "<b>Book rate:</b> " +
series. o.item.session.bookrate + "\n" ;
//s += "<b>Status:</b> " + o.item.session.status + "\n"
;
//END WORKS
var s:String;
var a:int=0;
var fNode:XML = chart.dataProvider[0];
if ((LineSeries(o.element).displayName) ==
fNode.child('sessionname'))
{
s = "<b>" + o.item.session.sessionname[a] + "</b> \n";
s += "<b>Books:</b> " + o.item.session.books[a] + "\n" +
"<b>Book rate:</b> " + o.item.session.bookrate[a] + "\n" ;
s += "<b>Status:</b> " + o.item.session.status[a] +
"</size>\n" ;
a++
}
return s;
}
Thanks.

try a dataTipRenderer. In either case, you can drill down to the child
