[flexcoders] Re: Customizing Chart Legend: Accessing DataProvider data

[ronnlixx]

Well, if anyone is interested here's my hack to get this to work.
I set a counter var and increment with each iteration of createChildren.
I'm sure there's a more effecient or "correct" way, so if anyone knows
please share.

public class CpPiechartLegendItem extends LegendItem
{
     public static var item_index:Number = 0;

     public function CpPiechartLegendItem()
     {
         super();
     }

     override protected function measure():void {
         super.measure();
     }

     override protected function createChildren():void {
         super.createChildren();
         trace(super.source.dataProvider[item_index-1].myProperty;);
     }

     protected override function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void{
         super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
     }
}
