Get the chart's _x position with ActionScript

[svanryckeghem]

Hi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can I dynamically figure out the X position of the canvas (only the part with the graph)? I've added a layer on top of the chart object with ActionScript, and I need to know the exact size of the gap between the border of the flash movie and the canvas. I started with a fixed value, but sometimes the Y axis value labels size change, and thus cause the canvas to move a little.

 

 

 

Another way for me to solve this would be to have the ability to prevent that gap from being resized. Is there a way to do that?

 

 

 

Thanks.

This is a dynamic position which is stored in a private object inside Chart class - it can be referenced as

this.elements.canvas.x inside the flash code, where this refers to the instance of chart class.
