RE: [flexcoders] Re: How can I tell an AreaChart data tip to display?

Hi Mark.  The datatip show/hide logic is pretty much hardcoded into the chart.  If you wanted to make more persistent datatips, you could write a custom chart element that created and maintained datatips on demand.  Probably wouldn't be too difficult.   Ely.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of trader230 Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 11:09 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How can I tell an AreaChart data tip to display? --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Mark" <mark_margo@...> wrote: > > Okay, I see where the DataTip class inherits a visible property from > the UIComponent class so that would be a good way to make the DataTip > appear but I need some way to get access to the DataTip instance from > the HitData supplied by the AreaSeries.findDataPoints method. > > Does anybody know what object would be the parent of the DataTip? > Thanks in advance for any help. > > Mark > Hi Mark - I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you want to raise a dataTip anytime a mouse is anywhere near the data. If this is it, you can set the mouseSensitivty property on the chart to something large, which would show the nearest dataTip to the mouse more liberally.
