Hi, I'm sure someone has run into this before, but I search and search and find nothing that sounds right.
I am creating an applet that loads a remote xml document containing the necessary data I want to render within the pie chart. I pass the labels, the "value" for the slice, along with a color - but it seems that the PieChart object and the related PieSeries object don't have the ability to "save" this data anywhere. Odd, but I figured I could just work around it. My idea was more or less to iterate through the object slices within the HTTPservice response method, populate the chart, perform an invalidate to force the chart to load. After I did this I want to iterate through each slice using "getnextitem" or something and (using the data from my xml) set the colors explicitely within the chart directly. This all sounded great this morning - but it's 8 hours later and I still haven't quite figured out how to do it. Am I chasing some impossible goal here? It's pretty important for me to explicitly bind specific colors to slice data so I see no way around this given the charting suite. Also while I'm asking, does anyone know of any open source flex charting tools? I went to a conference in Portland last week where some Adobe guys mentioned it... but I can't seem to find the url with google. thanks in advance Kevin Kamel
