I am writing a flex application that stores a dataset in an arrayCollection called stats. Through use of the application, the stats:ArrayCollection is updated.
One particular state of the application has 3 charts covering stats for thisWeek, thisMonth and thisQuarter. Right now, I have a single chart working and want to add in the other two. Since the base data for each chart is stored in stats:ArrayCollection what should I use as the dataProvider for each chart? Since all the data is inside one ArrayCollection, should I keep a single array collection then simply make a function for each period and use the function as the dataProvider? If I do it this way, will the charts update when the base arrayCollection is changed? My original thought was to store 3 additional arrayCollection objects, one for each period and update the correct object when the data changes. This doesn't seem like the most elegant manner to handle the situation. Any advice is appreciated. Dan Wilson
