Automatic assigning of colors - do different flash charts use different color series?

[dickmartini]

I'm using Multi-series 2D Area Chart and 2D Pie Chart files to create charts and letting the components assign their own colors to the data. I've noticed that the Pie Chart colors are quite full and dark (darker blues, greens and reds), while the Area Chart colors seem a little washed out (lighter blues and reds). I'm not using any alpha settings on the area chart, so I'm wondering how the Flash files choose the color series they are using. Also, can I get a list of the color palette(s) in hex that they use?

Hi,

 

 

 

In the area chart, we mix the color with white to create a gradient shade.

 

 

 

In pie chart, we mix it with darker version of same shade to created the bevel effect.

 

 

 

For both charts, you can control whether to have the gradient or not. For example, in area, you can set [chart plotGradientColor='' ...]

 

 

 

In pie chart, the same is [chart use3Dlighting='0' ...]

In the area map, the plotGradientColor='' seems to select a color - how can I turn off the gradient altogether?

Thanks for your help - appreciated!
