Sooooo close, I got it all to compile but the following. I can’t figure out how to do these functions on “target” because it’s a IFlexDisplayObject, and all those functions are from the graphics class and take an “Object”. How can I use these functions on the “target” if it’s not an Object? Extend it somehow or create an object?

public function draw(target:IFlexDisplayObject, rc:Rectangle):void {

target.beginFill( fills[count] );

target.moveTo(rc.left,rc.top);

target.lineTo(rc.right,rc.top);

target.lineTo(rc.right,rc.bottom);

target.lineTo(rc.left,rc.bottom);

target.lineTo(rc.left,rc.top);

target.endFill();

count++;

}

I'll leave making it compile as an exercise for the reader, but something like:

class CycleRenderer implements BoxRenderer
{
private var fills = [0xFF0000,0x00FF00,0x0000FF];

private var count:Number;

function CycleRenderer()
{
}

function beginDraw(target: UIObject, fill:Fill, stroke: Stroke, sampleCount : Number)
{

count = 0;
}

function draw(target:UIObject, rc : Rect)
{
target.beginFill( fills[count] );

  target.moveTo(rc.left,rc.top);
  target.lineTo(rc.right,rc.top);
  target.lineTo(rc.right,rc.bottom);
  target.lineTo(rc.left,rc.bottom);
  target.lineTo(rc.left,rc.top);

target.endFill();

count++;
}

function endDraw(target:UIObject)
{
}

function drawPreview(target:UIObject, rc: Rect, fill : Fill, stroke : Stroke)
{

count = 0;
draw(target, rc);
}
}

Hmm, after messing around with this I can’t get it to cycle any type of array because it seems to only accept one color…and I can’t figure out how the renderer can reference which item it’s actually on. Best I’ve got so far is just changing one color. Fill (heh, bad joke) up to mocking an example?

You could write a custom renderer for the chart that ignores the colors passed in and just cycles through a pre-defined array of colors.

Also, something else I’m having trouble finding documentation on….

I need to step through colors – let’s say red,white,blue. It’s one ColumnSeries – is there a way I can cycle through colors for each column?
