We are a project team with CA, Inc., which has an OEM licensing agreement for FusionCharts. Our team is beginning to use FusionCharts in a new product, and we are running into some technical issues. We need the ability to use the JavaScript API for customization of the charts, to add series and data points to charts, and to detect click events on a chart or data point. I don't see any of this capability available through the API. However, when I look at the HighCharts API, I see all of these capabilities are available. I have some questions about this. If we intend to use JavaScript rendering, is it a fair expectation that we should be able to use the full HighCharts API, since that product appears to be embedded in FusionCharts? And, if this is true, does the HighCharts capability (detecting mouse clicks, adding series/points) extend to when the Flash rendering is used? Essentially, I need to know if I can use the HighCharts API in FusionCharts, and if not, if I am better off just using HighCharts directly and not using FusionCharts. Thanks, Don P.

I am trying to use FusionCharts in an Ext-JS project. I have created a <div> in the DOM, and am using the standard technique for rendering the chart to the div container. However, I consistently see the following error generated in teh web browser when I access the page containing the chart: Uncaught RuntimeException: #03091456 myChartId.render() Error >> Unable to find the container DOM element. This is the code used to create the chart: var fusionChart, chart;[/left] [left]chart = new Ext.Component({ title: "chart", html: "<div id='fusionChartContainer'>Charts will load here!</div>" });[/left] [left]exec.ChartPanel = chart;[/left] [left]fusionChart = new FusionCharts( "FusionCharts/Column3D.swf", "fusionChartID", "400", "300", "0", "1" ); fusionChart.setXMLUrl("src/data.xml"); fusionChart.render('fusionChartContainer'); When this is rendered in a browser, I can use the DOM inspection tools and can verify that there is indeed a div with id 'fusionChartContainer'. But, still I see this error that the DOM element cannot be found. This problem happens whether I execute the same file directly from the filesystem in a browser, or am accessing it through a webserver, either way, I see the error and the chart is not displayed. Can anyone provide any assistance with this? Has anyone been using FusionCharts in an Ext-JS project? Thanks, Don P.
