Not sure, whether you are setting the width and height of the image you are loading dynamically. Also pushing it in to the backgroundelements array would not work, it should be assigned like this chart.backgroundelements = AnArray; Thanks -Sunil

Setting a backgroundElement bitmap at runtime Let me just clarify the specific bit of code that I assumed would work, but isn't. At runtime, way after creationComplete(), I create an mx:Image object, load a .jpg into it from my local file system, and then push it onto the backgroundElements array. I've also tried simply setting it as the sole member of that backgroundElements array. The only thing I know for certain is that when I test the .jpg loading by adding that mx:Image to the canvas, it displays correctly. Since I'm not having success, I'm wondering if this is a chart bug. Or - if there's another (or rather, a correct) way to accomplish this goal. I couldn't find any mention of this method in the Flex LiveDocs. Thanks again. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "EddieBerman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Flex 3 newbie here with a problem I can't seem to solve by myself. > > I've been unable to set a backgroundElement bitmap with an image > loaded at runtime. > > I can accomplish it without problem using either: > > 1) an mx:Image with a predefined @Embed source property within > mx:backgroundElements tags (as is well documented) > > and/or > > 2) AS3 code to explicitly push an Embed'd image (also well > documented). > > But - I can't seem to set an image that I load at runtime.
