Hi,
Do you think its possible to superpose (one bar half-over one other bar ) bars in clustered mode?
In Stacked column/area chart, is it possible to show the total of all the series for one particular stack at the end of the bar?
In your eg. above, in type combo box if stacked is selected for R.Durham I would like to show “0.856″ at the end of the bar. Is it possible?
Thanks
Thanks for online support
Thanks for providing help for flex charts
Is there any way of avoiding those long decimals on the DataTips when you select the STACKED option (i.e. 0.21799999999999997)??
Great site!
Thanks.
I am also getting those annoying long decimal places when using Stacked Column charts. Any way to avoid or work around them?
Hi Friends,
Need help in Bar charts.. would be great if any one could suggest some options..
Thanks,
Visu
Hi, i am doing a project related to this example you have.. However, where can i find the full codings for this Bar chart sample, would really appreciate your help. Thanks
@Jeffrey,
The code above is the full code. You can also see the full source code and download a ZIP by clicking the "View Source" link above, or right clicking the SWF and selecting "View Source" from the context menu, or by clicking http://blog.flexexamples.com/wp-content/uploads/BarChart_type_test/bin/srcview/index.html

Hi, i am currently using flex 4…I encountered this error when implementing which says “Could not resolve to a component implementation.” Is there ways to solve this problem?
Sorie mistake from the previous post. The error is “Could not resolve < mx:Array > to a component implementation.”
@Serene,
If you’re using Flex 4, you may need to try using <fx:Array> instead.
Peter
