Hi,
i am trying to show a graph when the user selects a row in the data grid but the chart is not showing up. i am able to pull the data from the backend using php/mysql and populating the data grid successfully but i would like to show a chart based on what the user selects in the data grid. pls. help.
Note, i am using flash builder 4

thanks for your quick response. i have tried your suggestion but still not working. i can see the graph but without the bars or the spend; see attached. thanks

The problem is that your data is larger than the limit for the graph.
You have
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis minimum="0" maximum="1500"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
The smallest value in the screenshot you attached is like 200 million, so it is just to big to register on an axis whose maximum is 1500. Try changing the maximum to 1000000000.

it is working like a charm, thank you very much. one last question:
how can i format the numbers with dolar signs and with no decimial. I would like to see currency with no decimal. thanks again for your time

Put this in your script area:
protected function myLabelFunction(item:Objec t, dgc:DataGridColumn):String {
var str:String = item[dgc.dataField];
return "$" + (str.indexOf(".") > -1) ? str.substring(0,str.indexO f(".")) : str;
}
Then, for each datagridcolumn that you want to format like that, add:
labelFunction="myLabelFunc tion"
protected function myLabelFunction(item:Objec
var str:String = item[dgc.dataField];
return "$" + (str.indexOf(".") > -1) ? str.substring(0,str.indexO
}
Then, for each datagridcolumn that you want to format like that, add:
labelFunction="myLabelFunc
Oops! Left out a crucial set of parentheses:
protected function myLabelFunction(item:Object, dgc:DataGridColumn):String{
var str:String = item[dgc.dataField];
return "$" + ((str.indexOf(".") > -1) ? str.substring(0,str.indexOf(".")) : str);
}

it is working fine but the numbers are not rounded up. is there a way to round up the numbers - i don't know if i have to use currency formatter class. thanks again for your help.

thank you very much. it is working like a charm. the only thing i would like to ask is to put comma in the proper place within the numbers but i already asked too much. thanks again.
No, I think I can spare a numberformatter example:
. . .
private var nf:NumberFormatter;
private function initApp():void {
nf = new NumberFormatter();
nf.useThousandsSeparator = true;
nf.precision = 0;
summarybyallService.getAllSummary_by_all();
}
protected function myLabelFunction(item:Object, dgc:DataGridColumn):String {
return "$" + nf.format(Math.round(item[dgc.dataField]));
}
ASKER
i am getting 2 errors:
the first one at this line: private var nf:NumberFormatter;
and the error is
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: NumberFormatter.
2nd at this line:nf = new NumberFormatter();
and the error is :
"Call to a possibly undefined method NumberFormatter."

add
import mx.formatters.NumberFormat ter;
up there with the other import statements.
import mx.formatters.NumberFormat
up there with the other import statements.

you are the man. thnx again.
itemClick="selectRow(event
to
change="selectRow(event)" ?
Because I don't have the summarybyallService code, to test this, I replaced the summarybyall service invocation with an assignment of a hard coded array collection to the one bound to the datagrid dataprovider:
initApp():void{
mydata =new ArrayCollection([
{category:"Cheese",Actual_
{category:"Corn",Actual_FY
{category:"Okra",Actual_FY
{category:"Haggis",Actual_
}
