I can have all 12 months on the screen at once, that will be my year view. Or I can do the month[number] thing to refence one month. I'm tyring to put as much data into a single xml file as I can, and the just hook the dataprovider up to sub sections of it. E4x's xpath like sytnax allows me to do this (very nice).
Here is the code for moving through months. The component simply throws up an additional menu that lets the user choose from different chart types (using the same data set). I have to use the menu until I can figure out how to enable horizontal access labels to be clicked upon (allowing me to catch the event and the go to the charts for that month). After I get v 1 out the door I can probably make the component even more generic so that it will work for any time period from year down to hour. Yes, my first little Flexlet ;) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" xmlns:ns1="Components.*" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.MenuEvent; public function changeChartType(event:MenuEvent):void { var itemLabel:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; switch( itemLabel) { case "January": monthComponent.categoryFieldString = "day_name"; monthComponent.categoryAxisTitleString = "January"; monthComponent.month_number = "1"; break; [....] } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:ApplicationControlBar width="100%" dock="true" > <mx:MenuBar id="monthSelector" labelField="@label" itemClick="changeMonth(event)" > <mx:XMLList> <menuitem label="Choose Month"> <menuitem label="January" /> <menuitem label="February" /> [....] </menuitem> </mx:XMLList> </mx:MenuBar> </mx:ApplicationControlBar> <ns1:LOBs_By_Month id="monthComponent" categoryFieldString="day_name" categoryAxisTitleString="January" month_number="1" /> </mx:Application> -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Adding Event to Object that doesnt have one On Wednesday 06 Feb 2008, Brad Bueche wrote: > <mx:HTTPService id="chartXML" url="http://path/createXML.php"; ... > Data provider for the chart looks like this" > dataProvider="{chartXML.lastResult.month[02].day}" > That would the feb component.

My first thought was why the remote end sends back the month, so I guess you have all 12 months on screen at once ? If, as you say further down, it's an '02'/'2' thing, just change either the Flex or the remote end so it does what you want. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to seamlessly expedite user-centric functionalities on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
