Ok, I have the revenue part working and formatting it. Thank you.
But, I cannot get the MONTH to show. Month is my categoryField.
categoryField="month:"
Below is what I have for my formatDataTip, but I cannot seem to find
the MONTH. I have tried useing hitData.element and hitData.item.
I thought it would be LineSeriesItem(hitData.chartItem).xValue, but
that just gives me 0, 1, 2, n.... (guessing it is the position of data
in the ArrayCollection I am using to populate my graph.
Any suggestions?
private function formatDataTip(hitData:HitData):String{
//var months:String = LineSeries(hitData.element);//Not working
var name:String = LineSeries(hitData.element).yField;
var revenue:Object = LineSeriesItem(hitData.chartItem).yValue;
return "<b>"+name+"</b><br>"+months+"<br>"+cf.format(revenue);
}
