Thank you I’ve found the response of my question, now what I try to do is the interpolation but in actionscript. this is what I did:

var sI:SeriesInterpolate = new SeriesInterpolate();
sI.duration=1000;
pieSeries.setStyle("showDataEffect",sI);

But it doesn’t change anything. I guess that I miss something but I don’t know what exactly!

Help please :)

Hi,

First of all thank you a lot for this example, but I would like to know how to specify colors depending on the value? for example if I have number 5 I would like color the area representing this number with red.

thank you again :).

Scott, I believe it is because of the showDataEffect and SeriesInterpolate on the PieSeries (although I really only tested this in Flex 3):

<mx:PieChart id="chart"
        height="100%"
        width="100%"
        dataProvider="{dp}">
    <mx:series>
        <mx:PieSeries field="data">
            <mx:showDataEffect>
                <mx:SeriesInterpolate duration="1000" />
            </mx:showDataEffect>
        </mx:PieSeries>
    </mx:series>
</mx:PieChart>

On initial load of this page, the pie chart seems to build itself in a counter-clockwise fashion, how is this effect accomplished? I cannot seem to duplicate it.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have been reading your blog for quite some time and let me tell you it is absolutely fantastic. I have been working with flex for quite a some time now but havent explored so many minor things that you work on.
Your examples are simple yet useful to all.
Keep the good work up.
