Unfortunately there isn't much to show, only the MXML. If I use Hours or even days it won't show because it is the same day for the start and end Dates. And because there are no hours in that date it won't render it. I haven't started with Ely's suggestion on overriding the bar series, but my guess is that's how I have to do it.
Here's the MXML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:BarChart xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; showDataTips="true" dataTipFunction="formatDataTip" itemClick="getInfo (event.hitData.item)" backgroundElements="{bge}" ><!-- backgroundElements="{bge}"--> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.charts.HitData; import mx.managers.PopUpManager; private function getInfo(item:Object):void{ var projectWin:projectWindow = projectWindow (PopUpManager.createPopUp( this, projectWindow , true)) projectWin.title = item.projectName projectWin.projectDataHolder.dgChangeHandler (item); // //trace(item.toString()); } public function display(data:Object, field:String, index:Number, percentValue:Number):String { var length:int = data.toString().length; if (length > 20){ return data.toString().substr(0, 20) + "..."; } else { return data.toString(); } } // public function myParseFunction(s:String):Date { // Get an array of Strings from the comma-separated String passed in. var a:Array = s.split(","); // Create the new Date object. var newDate:Date = new Date(a[0],a[1],a[2]); return newDate; } // public function formatDataTip (hitData:HitData):String { var s:String; var result:Array; var thisDate:String; //start\\ s = hitData.item.projectName; var sd:String = hitData.item.startDate; result = sd.split(","); thisDate = result[0] + "/" + result[1] + "/" + result [2]; var formattedSDate:String = myDate.format(thisDate); //end\\ var ed:String = hitData.item.endDate; result = ed.split(","); thisDate = result[0] + "/" + result[1] + "/" + result[2]; var formattedEDate:String = myDate.format(thisDate); // s += "\n\n<b>Start Date: End Date:</b> \n" s += formattedSDate + " " + formattedEDate; return s } // ]]> </mx:Script> <!-- date formatter --> <mx:DateFormatter id="myDate" formatString="D, MMM 'YY" /> <!----> <mx:SeriesSlide duration="1000" direction="down" minimumElementDuration="20" elementOffset="30" id="slideDown"/> <mx:SeriesSlide duration="1000" direction="up" minimumElementDuration="20" elementOffset="30" id="slideUp"/> <mx:Array id="bge"> <mx:GridLines direction="horizontal"> <mx:horizontalStroke> <mx:Stroke weight="1" color="#C2D1E1"/> </mx:horizontalStroke> <mx:horizontalFill> <mx:SolidColor color="#EEF3F7" alpha="1"/> </mx:horizontalFill> </mx:GridLines> </mx:Array> <mx:series> <mx:BarSeries xField="startDate" minField="endDate" hideDataEffect="slideUp" showDataEffect="slideDown"> <mx:fill> <!--<mx:SolidColor color="#CCCC66"/>- -> <mx:LinearGradient angle="90"> <mx:entries> <mx:GradientEntry color="#FF9900" ratio="0" /> <mx:GradientEntry color="#FFCC00" ratio=".20" /> <mx:GradientEntry color="#A35901" ratio=".40" /> <mx:GradientEntry color="#2B1500" ratio=".85" /> <mx:GradientEntry color="#990099" ratio=".95" /> </mx:entries> </mx:LinearGradient> </mx:fill> </mx:BarSeries> </mx:series> <mx:verticalAxis> <mx:CategoryAxis labelFunction="display" categoryField="projectName" /> </mx:verticalAxis> <mx:horizontalAxis> <mx:DateTimeAxis labelUnits="months" dataUnits="days" displayLocalTime="true" parseFunction="myParseFunction" /> </mx:horizontalAxis> </mx:BarChart> --- In [email protected], "Igor Costa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mark > > I don't think this could be a problem in render, could you please paste part > of your code to be see what are you trying to do ? > > Maybe could help us to figure out more your problem. > > Best > > Igor Costa > www.igorcosta.org > > > On 3/7/07, Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'm using a bar chart to show the start and end of a product roll-out. > > I'm using the xField as the start date and the minField as the end > > date, it works and looks real nice.
