Tooltips on Flash charts


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

At this moment the flash generator will not provide the support you need but

we are very interested in allowing your scenario to work. We already did

similar work in our SVG generator through a Scriptable property. When this

property is set to true we "id" all the markers we paint and other objects

in the chart. This allows you to manipulate these objects when scripting the

SVG.

Would this property be enough ? Which objects would you be interested in

scripting ?

What do you need to do with the tooltips ?

What we need now is to be able to identify each individual point in each

series on a chart in Flash. At the moment is there any standard naming

conventions for Flash objects representing each point? If not, can we assign

an identifier at the time we are specifying the points?

To elaborate on what we are trying to do... we want to add an enhanced

tooltip to each point on each series of a chart. The data for this tooltip

would be supplied, for example, as XML that is read into the base Flash

movie and then displayed onmouseover the individual chart points. We

therefore need some mechanism for relating each tooltip to its respective

chart point.

In the long term (going to the extreme!) what would be *really* nice, would

be a client-side Flash chart component that could read it's data from XML,

say, and be rendered on the client. It could then provide lots of hooks that

could be used to add extended client functionality.
