[flexcoders] Linechart with dynamic series?

[Bill Brown]

I was wondering if it is possible to dynamically add LineSeries to a LineChart component at run-time?
I'd like to create something like a stock chart where the user can select multiple stocks to display on the stock chart.

How would I format the arrayCollection being used as a dataProvider for the LineChart? My initial guess would be something like this, except it would be coming from a web service:

private var stocksAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [

            { Date: "2006-10-25", Stock1: 2000, Stock2: 150, Stock3: 450 },
            { Date: "2006-10-26", Stock1: 1000, Stock2: 200, Stock3: 600 },
            { Date: "2006-10-27", Stock1: 1500, Stock2: 500, Stock3: 300 },

            { Date: "2006-10-28", Stock1: 1800, Stock2: 120, Stock3: 900 },
            { Date: "2006-10-29", Stock1: 2400, Stock2: 575, Stock3: 500 } ]);
        ]]>

One issue I am having is how to dynamically add properties to the objects in the stocksAC arrayCollection. What do I do if I want to add a forth stock or fifth stock at runtime?

Another issue is how to add LineSeries at runtime?

<mx:LineChart id="linechart" dataProvider="{stocksAC}">
                
            <mx:horizontalAxis>
                <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="Date"/>

            </mx:horizontalAxis>

            <mx:series>
                <mx:LineSeries yField="Stock1" form="curve" displayName="Adobe"/>
                <mx:LineSeries yField="Stock2" form="curve" displayName="Microsoft"/>

                <mx:LineSeries yField="Stock3" form="curve" displayName="Apple"/>
            </mx:series>
        </mx:LineChart>

Again, how do I add a forth or fifth stock at runtime?

I hope this is clear enough.

Cheers,
BB
