chartDataProvider:Object [write-only] | Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The data provider assigned to the enclosing chart. Element types can choose to inherit the data provider from the enclosing chart if necessary, or allow developers to assign data providers specifically to the element. Not all elements are necessarily driven by a data provider.
public function set chartDataProvider(value:Object):void| cursor | property |
protected var cursor:IViewCursor| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Each ChartElement carries a cursor associated with their dataProvider for their own internal use. ChartElements have sole ownership of this cursor; they can assume no other code will modify its position.
| dataProvider | property |
dataProvider:Object| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A data provider assigned to the this specific element. In general, elements inherit the dataProvider from the enclosing chart. But individual elements can override with a specific dataProvider of their own.
public function get dataProvider():Object public function set dataProvider(value:Object):void| dataTransform | property |
dataTransform:DataTransform| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The DataTransform object that the element is associated with. A DataTransform object represents an association between a set of elements and a set of axis objects used to transform those elements from data space to screen coordinates and back. A chart element uses its associated DataTransform object to calculate how to render its data.
public function get dataTransform():DataTransform public function set dataTransform(value:DataTransform):void| labelContainer | property |
labelContainer:Sprite [read-only] | Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The DisplayObject that displays labels rendered by this element.
In most cases, labels displayed in the data area of a chart
are rendered on top of all elements
rather than interleaved with the data.
If an implementing Element has labels to display,
it can place them in a Sprite object
and return it as the value of the labelContainer property.
Enclosing charts will render labelContainers
from all enclosed elements and place them
in the data area above all other elements.
public function get labelContainer():Sprite| ChartElement | () | Constructor |
public function ChartElement()| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Constructor.
| addChild | () | method |
override public function addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adds a child DisplayObject after the end of this child list.
Calling childList.addChild(child) is the same as calling
childList.addChild(child, childList.numChildren)
After it has been added, its index of the new child
will be (child.numChildren - 1)
Parameters
child:DisplayObject — The DisplayObject to add as a child.
|
DisplayObject — The child that was added; this is the same
as the argument passed in.
|
| addChildAt | () | method |
override public function addChildAt(child:DisplayObject, index:int):DisplayObject| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adds a child DisplayObject instance to this DisplayObjectContainer instance. The child is added at the index position specified. An index of 0 represents the back (bottom) of the display list for this DisplayObjectContainer object.
If you add a child object that already has a different display object container as a parent, the object is removed from the child list of the other display object container.
Parameters
child:DisplayObject — The DisplayObject instance to add as a child of this
DisplayObjectContainer instance.
| |
index:int — The index position to which the child is added. If you specify a
currently occupied index position, the child object that exists at that position and all
higher positions are moved up one position in the child list.
|
DisplayObject — The DisplayObject instance that you pass in the
child parameter.
|
| chartStateChanged | () | method |
public function chartStateChanged(oldState:uint, v:uint):void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called by the enclosing chart to indicate that the current state of the chart has changed. Implementing elements should respond to this method in order to synchronize changes to the data displayed by the element.
Parameters
oldState:uint — An integer representing the previous state.
| |
v:uint — An integer representing the new state.
|
| claimStyles | () | method |
public function claimStyles(styles:Array, firstAvailable:uint):uint| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called by the chart to allow associated elements
to claim style selectors from its chartSeriesStyles Array.
Each chart has an associated set of selectors that are
implicitly assigned to contained elements that require them.
Implementing this function gives an element a chance to 'claim'
elements out of that set, as necessary.
An element that requires N style selectors claims the values
from styles[firstAvailable] to
styles[firstAvailable + N - 1].
Parameters
styles:Array — An Array of styles to claim.
| |
firstAvailable:uint — The first style selector in the Array to claim.
|
uint — The new value for firstAvailable
after claiming any styles (for example,
firstAvailable + N).
|
| collectTransitions | () | method |
public function collectTransitions(chartState:Number, transitions:Array):void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called by the enclosing chart to collect any transitions a particular element might play when the chart changes state. The chart collects transitions from all elements and ensures that they play in parallel. It waits until all transitions have completed before advancing to another state. Implementors should append any necessary transitions to the transitions Array parameter.
Parameters
chartState:Number — The state at which the chart plays
the new transitions.
| |
transitions:Array — An Array of transition to add
to the chart's list of transitions to play.
|
| createDataID | () | method |
protected function createDataID(dataPointID:Number):Number| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Creates a unique id to represent the dataPoint for comparison purposes. Derived classes can call this function with a locally unique data point ID to generate an ID that is unique across the application.
Parameters
dataPointID:Number — The dataPoint's current ID.
|
Number — An ID for the dataPoint that is unique across the application.
|
| dataChanged | () | method |
protected function dataChanged():void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Indicates the underlying data represented by the element has changed. You should call this method whenever the data your series or element is displaying changes. It gives any associated axes a chance to update their ranges if appropriate.
| dataToLocal | () | method |
public function dataToLocal(... dataValues):Point| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Converts a tuple of data values to an x-y coordinate on screen. Call this function to transform data on to the screen using the same transform that the individual elements go through. For example, to create a custom highlight for a data region of a chart, you might use this function to determine the on-screen coordinates of the range of interest.
For Cartesian chartelements, you typically pass two values. The first value maps to the horizontal axis, and the second value maps to the vertical axis.
For polar charts, the first value maps to the angular axis, and the second maps to the radial axis.
Parameters
... dataValues — The data values to convert to coordinates.
|
Point — Coordinates that are relative to the chart.
|
| describeData | () | method |
public function describeData(dimension:String, requiredFields:uint):Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called by the governing DataTransform to obtain a description
of the data represented by this IChartElement.
Implementors fill out and return an Array of
mx.charts.chartClasses.DataDescription objects
to guarantee that their data is correctly accounted for
by any axes that are autogenerating values
from the displayed data (such as minimum, maximum,
interval, and unitSize).
Most element types return an Array
containing a single DataDescription.
Aggregate elements, such as BarSet and ColumnSet,
might return multiple DataDescription instances
that describe the data displayed by their subelements.
When called, the implementor describes the data
along the axis indicated by the dimension argument.
This function might be called for each axis
supported by the containing chart.
Parameters
dimension:String — Determines the axis to get data descriptions of.
| |
requiredFields:uint — A bitfield that indicates which values
of the DataDescription object the particular axis cares about.
Implementors can optimize by only calculating the necessary fields.
|
Array — An Array containing the DataDescription instances that describe
the data that is displayed.
|
| findDataPoints | () | method |
public function findDataPoints(x:Number, y:Number, sensitivity2:Number):Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Finds the closest data point represented by the element under the given coordinates.
This method returns either an array of HitData structures describing the datapoints within range. Individual ChartElements may choose to only return a single dataPoint if their dataPoints are guaranteed not to overlap.
Parameters
x:Number — The X coordinate.
| |
y:Number — The Y coordinate.
| |
sensitivity2:Number — How close, in pixels, the pointer must be
to the exact coordinates to be considered "under".
This property is similar to the value of the mouseSensitivity
property of the chart control.
|
Array — An array of HitData.
|
| getAllDataPoints | () | method |
public function getAllDataPoints():Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |

ChartElements whose dataTips are to be shown when
showAllDataTips is set to true on
chart
Array — The HitData objects describing the data points.
|
| localToData | () | method |
public function localToData(pt:Point):Array| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Converts a coordinate on screen to a tuple of data values. Call this function to determine what data values a particular point on-screen represents.
Individual chart types determine how this transformation occurs. The point should be relative to the chart's coordinate space.
Parameters
pt:Point — The Point to convert.
|
Array — The tuple of data values.
|
| mappingChanged | () | method |
public function mappingChanged():void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called when the mapping of one or more associated axes changes. The DataTransform assigned to this ChartElement will call this method when any of the axes it represents is modified in some way.
| processNewDataProvider | () | method |
protected function processNewDataProvider(value:Object):void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called when a new dataProvider is assigned to the element.
Subclasses can override and define custom behavior
when a new dataProvider is assigned.
This method is called when either the dataProvider property
is set, or when the chartDataProvider property is set
if no specific dataProvider has been assigned directly.
Parameters
value:Object — The data provider. This is typically an Array, ArrayCollection, XMLList, XMLListCollection,
or similar class.
