Thunder -- the offset, columnWidthRatio, and maxColumnWidth properties of series are managed automatically in a ColumnChart. This is how a ColumnChart generates the clustering behavior in ColumnSeries. Similarly, ColumnSeries inside a ColumnSet have these properties managed by the outer ColumnSet. the *Set series types (Column, Area, and Bar) are designed to allow you to express the same grouping relationships provided in the 'convenience' charts (BarChart, ColumnChart, AreaChart) in complex arrangements of your own design. The intention is to use them in the base CartesianChart type. So to solve problem #1 and #2, you can simply switch to using a CartesianChar. Problem #3 is as designed. ColumnCharts and ColumnSeries have a defined amount of space assigned to them (columnWidthRatio) which they allocate to their children. If the children series are stacked, they get the entire width. If they're clustered, the width is divided among them. If you want different behavior, you can calculate the size of a single column when clustered and assign that value to the columnWidthRatio property when you switch to stacked. Make sense?

I have a feeling some of these may already be known issues or just not yet implemented (since I'm venturing into "undocumented" territory, but I thought I'd mention and demonstrate them since I ran across them. These are to do with the "ColumnSet" class being used to display two stacked sets of columns. (I actually got it working once I set the undocumented "type" to "stacked") Again, sample source below. 1) ColumnSet ignores 'columnWidthRatio' setting. I set this on both the ColumnSet and every series in it. No dice. 2) ColumnSet ignores 'offset' setting. Same as above. Can't shift the columns using 'offset'. Seems like the desired behavior is that the individual series would offset themselves relative to the ColumnSet's 'offset'. 3) ColumnSet.type="overlaid" makes columns much skinnier than "stacked". Try changing the 'type' of both ColumnSets to "overlaid" the column width gets much narrower. cheers, Thunder ____________________________ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:XML id="oCatDP" format="e4x"> <BudgetType>CHIT</BudgetType> <BudgetType>RESEARCH</BudgetType> </mx:XML> <mx:XML id="series1" format="e4x"> <row> <MasterBroker>BEAR STEARNS SECURITIES CORP</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>CHIT</BudgetType> <PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPBudgetAmt>32340</PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIES CORPBudgetAmt> <PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPCommissionAmt>22340</PageBEARSTEARNSSECURI TIESCORPCommissionAmt> <CommissionAmt>22340</CommissionAmt> </row> <row> <MasterBroker>BEAR STEARNS SECURITIES CORP</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>RESEARCH</BudgetType> <PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPBudgetAmt>42340</PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIES CORPBudgetAmt> <PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPCommissionAmt>32340</PageBEARSTEARNSSECURI TIESCORPCommissionAmt> <CommissionAmt>32340</CommissionAmt> </row> </mx:XML> <mx:XML id="series2" format="e4x"> <row> <MasterBroker>UBS WARBURG SECURITIES LTD</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>CHIT</BudgetType> <PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDBudgetAmt>52826.656</PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIE SLTDBudgetAmt> <PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDCommissionAmt>42826.656</PageUBSWARBURGSECUR ITIESLTDCommissionAmt> </row> <row> <MasterBroker>UBS WARBURG SECURITIES LTD</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>RESEARCH</BudgetType> <PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDBudgetAmt>32826.656</PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIE SLTDBudgetAmt> <PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDCommissionAmt>22826.656</PageUBSWARBURGSECUR ITIESLTDCommissionAmt> </row> </mx:XML> <mx:XML id="series3" format="e4x"> <row> <MasterBroker>LEHMAN BROS INC.</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>CHIT</BudgetType> <PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_BudgetAmt>46210</PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_BudgetAmt> <PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_CommissionAmt>36210</PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_Commis sionAmt> </row> <row> <MasterBroker>LEHMAN BROS INC.</MasterBroker> <BudgetType>RESEARCH</BudgetType> <PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_BudgetAmt>82763.43</PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_BudgetA mt> <PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_CommissionAmt>92763.43</PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_Com missionAmt> </row> </mx:XML> <mx:XMLListCollection id="oCatCol" source="{oCatDP.BudgetType}" /> <mx:XMLListCollection id="series1Col" source="{series1.row}" /> <mx:XMLListCollection id="series2Col" source="{series2.row}" /> <mx:XMLListCollection id="series3Col" source="{series3.row}" /> <mx:ColumnChart id="mainChart" showDataTips="true" type="clustered" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:horizontalAxis> <mx:CategoryAxis dataProvider="{oCatCol}" /> </mx:horizontalAxis> <mx:series> <mx:Array> <mx:ColumnSet type="stacked" columnWidthRatio=".3" alpha=".4"> <mx:series> <mx:Array> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series1Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPCommissionAmt" displayName="aapl" /> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series2Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDCommissionAmt" displayName="aap2" /> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series3Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_CommissionAmt" displayName="aap3" /> </mx:Array> </mx:series> </mx:ColumnSet> <mx:ColumnSet type="stacked" columnWidthRatio=".3" alpha=".4" offset="-35"> <mx:series> <mx:Array> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series1Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageBEARSTEARNSSECURITIESCORPBudgetAmt" displayName="aap4" /> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series2Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageUBSWARBURGSECURITIESLTDBudgetAmt" displayName="aap5" /> <mx:ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".3" dataProvider="{series3Col}" xField="BudgetType" yField="PageLEHMANBROSINC_x2E_BudgetAmt" displayName="aap6" /> </mx:Array> </mx:series> </mx:ColumnSet> </mx:Array> </mx:series> </mx:ColumnChart> <mx:Legend dataProvider="{mainChart}" direction="horizontal" /> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
