Go to
http://www.infosoftglobal.com/FusionCharts/Gallery.asp?gMenuItemId=3#ps
and click on the charts under "2D/3D Column Charts". You'll see the
animations I mean. And if you click on the "FusionCharts Presentation
Suite", you'll see what my boss REALLY went wild for. They use Flash
to put a bit of Powerpoint-ish pizazz into the charts. Not really my
thing as I'm more of a usability guy, but it does impress the suits.
I managed to get the label rotation working. The help for
"labelRotation" under mx.charts.AxisRenderer should have a big
bold
reference to the embedding thing. I went there first and only figured
out the problem when I finally went to the "Rotating axis elements"
example page. I think it's a good way to do it, but you have to admit
that it's a bit of a learning curve compared to just setting a label
rotation property and having it always work.
I hear what you're saying about time. I wish Adobe would put some
more people on Flex to just write examples and such. One good example
is worth a whole page of documentation. Of course, that can get
problematic when you're still redesigning some of it as you go along. :D
