Property Detail
fillFunction | property |
fillFunction:Function| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies a method that returns the fill for the current chart item in the series.
If this property is set, the return value of the custom fill function takes precedence over the
fill and fills style properties.
But if it returns null, then fills and fill will be
prefered in that order.
The custom fillFunction has the following signature:
function_name (item:ChartItem, index:Number):IFill { ... }
item is a reference to the chart item that is being rendered.
index is the index of the chart item in the renderData's cache. This is different
from the chart's data provider's index because it is sorted based on the x, y, and z values.
This function returns an object that implements the IFill interface.
An example usage of a customized fillFunction is to return a fill
based on some threshold.
Implementation
public function get fillFunction():Function public function set fillFunction(value:Function):voidExample
How to use this example
public function myFillFunction(item:ChartItem, index:Number):IFill

if (curItem.yNumber > 10)
return(new SolidColor(0x123456, .75));
else
return(new SolidColor(0x563412, .75));
}
If you specify a custom fill function for your chart series and you want to have a Legend control, you must manually create a Legend control and add LegendItems to it.

yField:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies the field of the data provider that determines the position of the data point on the vertical axis.
If null, the AreaSeries assumes the dataProvider
is an Array of numbers, and uses the numbers as values for the data points.
The default value is null.

Method Detail
applyItemRendererProperties | () | method |
protected function applyItemRendererProperties(instance:DisplayObject, cache:InstanceCache):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Customizes the item renderer instances used to represent the chart. This method is called automatically whenever a new item renderer is needed while the chart is being rendered. You can override this method to add your own customization as necessary.
Parameters
instance:DisplayObject — The new item renderer instance that is being created.
| |
cache:InstanceCache — The InstanceCache that is used to manage the item renderer instances.

stack | () | method |
public function stack(stackedXValueDictionary:Dictionary, previousElement:IStackable):Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Stacks the series. Normally, a series implements the updateData() method
to load its data out of the data provider. But a stacking series performs special
operations because its values are not necessarily stored in its data provider.
Its values are whatever is stored in its data provider, summed with the values
that are loaded by the object it stacks on top of.
A custom stacking series should implement the stack() method by loading its
data out of its data provider, adding it to the base values stored in the dictionary
to get the real values it should render with, and replacing the values in the dictionary
with its new, summed values.
Parameters
stackedXValueDictionary:Dictionary — Contains the base values that the series should stack
on top of. The keys in the dictionary are the y values, and the values are the x values.
| |
previousElement:IStackable — The previous element in the stack. If, for example, the element
is of the same type, you can use access to this property to avoid duplicate effort when
rendering.
|
Number — The maximum value in the newly stacked series.
|
stackAll | () | method |
public function stackAll(stackedPosXValueDictionary:Dictionary, stackedNegXValueDictionary:Dictionary, previousElement:IStackable2):Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

Stacks the series. Normally, a series implements the updateData() method

A custom stacking series should implement the stack() method by loading its
data out of its data provider, adding it to the base values stored in the dictionary
to get the real values it should render with, and replacing the values in the dictionary
with its new, summed values.
Parameters
stackedPosXValueDictionary:Dictionary — Contains the base values that the series should stack
on top of. The keys in the dictionary are the x values, and the values are the positive
x values.
| |
stackedNegXValueDictionary:Dictionary — Contains the base values that the series should stack
on top of. The keys in the dictionary are the x values, and the values are the negative
y values.
| |
previousElement:IStackable2 — The previous element in the stack. If, for example, the element
is of the same type, you can use access to this property to avoid duplicate effort when
rendering.
|
Object — An object representing the maximum and minimum values in the newly stacked series.
