User (Legacy) Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 We wish to output chartfx charts as imports into a base movie and are interested in accessing the objects in the chart in order to enhance the tooltips and provide other enhanced functionality. Is this a resonable expectation, and if so, are there any resources for doing this? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 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 ? -- Regards, JC Software FX Support "John Smith" <JSmith@Phoney.com> wrote in message news:yYCPbXxzDHA.3512@WEBSERVER1... > We wish to output chartfx charts as imports into a base movie and are > interested in accessing the objects in the chart in order to enhance the > tooltips and provide other enhanced functionality.

User (Legacy) Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 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.
