Upgrade Issue In Actiona Script Instantiating Charts

[abhi0710]

Hi , We are upgrading to enterprise version 3.2 of FusionCharts.

We are having a custom ActionScript file which instantiates Column@dChart and com.fusioncharts.core.charts.Line2DChart. This ws compiling fne till now but now gives error saying

 

 

com/fusioncharts/helper/ObjectManager.as(53): characters 7-11 : type error Object should be String.

 

I noticed after removing most of the code that just the declarion itself is throwing this exception.

 

private var chart:Line2DChart;

 

Looking forward to some help.

 

Thanks,

Abhinav

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

Could you please confirm whether you are using ActionScript 2 or 3?

 

FusionCharts will work with ActionScript 2.

 

Awaiting for your response.

AS2 in which we are using FC3

We are using mtasc to build fusion charts . Command like this in ant throws a similar exception

 

<mtasc

srcfile="com/fusioncharts/core/charts/Column2DChart.as"

inputswf="fusioncharts/swf/Column2D.swf"

outputswf="${flash.lg.flashbuild}/Column2D.swf"

mx="true" msvc="true" version="8" group="true" strict="false"

failonerror="${failonerror}">

 

<classpath>

<path>

<pathelement location="fusioncharts/src"/>

</path>

</classpath>

</mtasc>

 

we have copied all the source files from sourcecode folder.

 

thanks,

These links say nothing about building fusion charts from source code.

We have not yet tried with mtasc. However, it seems that you are trying to compile Column2DChart.as which is just a class file and not the main source. You would need to use this class in another Fla file and then compile it.

 

You can try the samples like MyFirstChart.fla from the Code > FlashExamples folder of the download pack.
