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.

I want the yField to be based on the yVal attribute in the series (parent of the dataPoints) element. How can I do this? <mx:PlotSeries dataProvider="{weightSeries.dataPoint}" xField="@date" yField= ?? What do I put here ?? /> There must be a way. Please help! Thanks THE FOLLOWING WORKS but I don't want to have to repeat the y value in every data point. <series> <dataPoint date='12/01/2004' yVal='Weight'/> <dataPoint date='12/25/2004' yVal='Weight'/> <dataPoint date='1/1/2005' yVal='Weight'/> <dataPoint date='1/22/2005' yVal='Weight'/> </series> <mx:PlotSeries dataProvider="{weightSeries.dataPoint}" xField="@date" yField="@yVal" /> ------------------------------------ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!
