XML external call FusionChart in a Flash Movie

[Gungy]

I purchased Flash Charts Developer. I'm using the MultipleCharts from the Code FlashExamples. I'm using Bar2D and Pie3D charts.

I've looked at your FlashExamples in the code library for Fusioncharts_Developer. It was very helpful starting out, Thank you.

What I'm looking for is the code in the Action Script to fetch data out of a XML file. The code examples that came with the product all have the XML data as part of the Action Script. I have users updating a XML file and I don't want them to have to edit in Flash to update the data. Can you assist?

Thanks!

Hi,

can you please try this?

// ------------- Load XML Data for the chart -------------- //

var xmlData:XML = new XML();

//Delegate the onLoad event of XML to our custom createChart function

xmlData.onLoad = createChart;

xmlData.load("MyData.xml");

//createChart method is called when XML has loaded

function createChart(success){

if (success){

  //Create the container movie clip. Note the use of _root here, as we're still

  //in scope of XML object. To come out of that, you may use Delegate class.

  var chartContainerMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("ChartHolder",1);

  //Now, instantiate the chart using Constructor function of the chart.

  var myFirstChart:Column3D = new Column3D(chartContainerMC, 1, 450, 220, 20, 15, false, false, "", "EN", "noScale");

  //Convey the XML data object to chart.

  myFirstChart.setXMLData(xmlData);

  //Draw the chart

  myFirstChart.render();

}else{

  trace("Error in loading data");

  }
