I am experiencing some odd behavior when databinding the series of a
BarChart and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is
going on.
I have -
chart1.mxml
<mx:BarChart id="chart1" series="{model.series}" ...
chart2.mxml
<mx:BarChart id="chart2" series="{model.series}" ...
Note that the series is databound to the same model variable. In
reality I use the same chart.mxml as a component in 2 different places
in my code but for purposes of debugging I duplicated code to see if
that made a difference.
I call a webservice to get data and when the webservice returns I use
that data to create the series in actionscript and assign it to
model.series. For purposes of debugging I used Math.random() to
generate random numbers for the x axis. I created a button to call the
the same webservice in chart1.mxml and chart2.mxml.
chart1.mxml works fine. I click the "get data" button and the chart
is filled with the series data. I click it again and the series data
changes (due to the random numbers). All good.
But chart2.mxml behaves oddly. When chart2.mxml is made visible it
shows chart1.mxml's 'last' series. Then I click on the "get data"
button on chart2.mxml and the axis changes - to reflect new random
numbers, however, the actual bars do not appear (they disappear in
this case). I click the button again, the axis changes, but the bars
do not appear.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lynn
