Subject: [flexcoders] Flex line chart

 

  

I want to create a line chart in Flex. I know how to create a simple one but
the one I need to create needs to have 6 series (lines). 

The problem is that when I get the data from MYSQL, there is 6 xFields (one
for each line) that are the same. eg. Western Cape - January, Western Cape -
February, Western Cape - March, etc (for 6 months).

That means that instead of there being only 9 xfields (province (south
african provinces)), there is now 54 of them because they are being
populated with all the values and not the unique ones. The same thing will
happen with the line series becuase the line series will have 6 of the
January's, 6 of the February's and so on.

I just want to have 9 xfields and not 54 and 6 months and not 9 of each.

Is there a way to solve this please? 

Regards,
Wesley

Generally you have to reconstruct the data into an appropriate format for
a Flex chart, you can do that server-side or client-side before giving it to
the chart.

I've re-read your post 3 times, and still can't make sense of how your data
is structured.

Is there any way you can post an example of the structure?

There's always a way to massage the data to fit into the charting...
