RE: [flexcoders] Charting - setting yField property for a PlotSeries when dataProvider is XML

2008-06-27 Thread Battershall, Jeff
I'm not sure how you're going to stipulate a yField that doesn't exist in the dataprovider. If you have control over the XML format, add the additional attribute to each datapoint item. If you don't, then you'll need to take what you're given and add the yVal attribute to each item. Jeff

[flexcoders] Printing VS. PDF Creation - Scaling the output

I'm using the FlexPrintJob classes and I'm really liking them over what was available previously. The scaling algorithms are great. IF ONLY I could get PDF creating to deliver similar results! If you print to PDF, the output is great. But for server-side PDF creation, I'm using CFDOCUMENT

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problems passing value objects between Flex and CF

2008-06-25 Thread Battershall, Jeff
Eric, You have to use the this keyword in order to make your properties public. Using the variables scope keeps your properties private inside the CFC. So your code needs to read: cfscript //Initialize the CFC with the default properties values.

[flexcoders] Best Way to add Data Labels to Plot Chart

Yes, you can pass variables to the Flex app via flashVars. These then can be accessed via Application.application.parameters.myVarName in your application. This would mean that you'd have to modify the default html wrapper, which is easy to do. Jeff -Original Message- From:
