Oh, and another thing -- my next logical question is:
How do you
access the PERCENTAGE that Flex calculates for you
automatically in a 100%
bar chart? Normally with the default
renderer, Flex will show both the series
name, the value of that block
in the bar, and what percentage that block is
of the total bar.
However, when I'm making my custom datatips, I want to
have access to
that generated percentage. Anybody know how to get
it?
Thanks!
