The data points (anchors) in radar chart are clickable.

I got it working. Just ran xmlhttprequest against the returned string. Next question, the radar chart doesn't appear to have any elements clickable. If I wanted to make a corner of the radar chart clickable to further data, is that possible? Does FusionCharts already provide something like this. Similar to the way the scatterplot chart works in that you can select points. I just want to be able to click on a corner and populate the appropriate data. Thank you in advance.

FusionCharts is designed only to return the data and ID. If you've more attributes, you'll need to change the code of FusionCharts (present in Enterprise license) to return them.

So if I were to include more information within my XML document, how would I go about retrieving that information?

So if I had more attributes added onto my XML, how would I go about accessing those? Hoping the system isn't restricted in that it solely returns the ID attribute in string format.

I'm afraid we do not expose the contents of tooltip in the JavaScript API. We just expose the label and data.

So the SWF file is reading the XML document and outputting the information in the chart.

This is my current test environment...

When you highlight and select a series of points, it returns the IDs. I want to return more information from the XML document, such as the toolTip attribute that is viewed when you hover over any point on the graph. How would I go about retrieving THAT information through the Flash from the XML?

Hi,

I'm not sure if I've understood your problem. Can you please elaborate?

Lack of a DOM

JoE — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:20:22 GMT

The Problem:
Trying to read the "toolText" value.

The XML (configured correctly, forum won't let me post it):
dataSet id="CumulativeSpend" seriesName="Cumulative Spend"
set id="setID130" x="130" y="10152.00" toolText="A, Biliji Days:130 Spend:10152.00"
set id="setID191" x="191" y="7472.27" toolText="Amazioin, Joseph Days:191 Spend:7472.27"
set id="setID73" x="73" y="3360.00" toolText="Amlorty, Srich Days:73 Spend:3360.00"
/dataset

The Javascript (it's yours already, you may recognize it):
[code] //Now generate a tabular format of data returned as array
var arrData = ourChart.getData();
//If no data has been selected return an error
if (arrData.length==0){
alert("Please select atleast one data point on chart by drawing a rectangle");
return;
}
var i,j;
//Now we'll generate an HTML string for it
var strHTML = "";
for (i=0; i //Iterate through each row of data
//First column contains the dataset id.
//Add dataset id
var dataSetID = arrData[i][0];
strHTML = strHTML + "";
}
//Close table tag
strHTML = strHTML + "

" + dataSetID + "

";
var infoSet = arrData[i][1];
alert (infoSet);
//arrData[i][0] returns the string "Cumulative Spend"
//arrData[i][1] returns the setID as a string

//Iterate through all the data in this dataset
for (j=1; j //Add data to HTML code
strHTML = strHTML + arrData[i][j];
//Add separator comma to all but last item
if (j strHTML = strHTML + ", ";
}
}
strHTML = strHTML + "

";
//Write the data to the required div
var tableDiv = document.getElementById('tableDataContainer');
tableDiv.innerHTML = strHTML;
}[/code]

I originally thought the problem was contained within this area, but I think it's actually in FusionCharts.js. Problem is I'm trying to reference the XML using the DOM, but it appears as though the information returned is not set up as a DOM. Assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
