I tried that, but didn't work correctly. LineSeries.(hitData.element).yField. which gave me the State name, but it won't give me the amount, which is what I am trying to get to do format.
I have been trying to use chartItem, but no success. Flex can get me all the data on its own with the showDataTips=true, so it knows how to get the data out of my ArrayCollection. I just want to be able to get at what Flex knows. I need to get at what showDataTips is doing when set to True. Anyone know what it is? --- In [email protected], "Mehdi, Agha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > J, > > Try event.hitData.element.yField/.xField > > Agha Mehdi > IDT - eBusiness Program Manager > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of jnewport > Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 9:11 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Format a datatip. > > I was wondering how to format a datatip for a LineChart.
