I set up a usa map with 2 items in the color range, and it worked fine for me.

But various people on windows machines with IE 7 and Flash Player 9 have reported that the legend boxes appear blank with no colors.

So I had them check out the usaData example on the powerMaps site with the bush and kerry legend. and that didn't work for them either.

any ideas??

thanks

I'm also having this problem.
On 1 of our machines (XP Pro) we have IE7 with Flash Player 9, and Firefox 1 with Flash Player 8 - in both the legend doesn't fill the boxes with the colors.
Another machine with Firefox 2 and Flash Player 9 also gets the same thing.
So it seems to be across various versions of browsers & Flash but just on certain systems.

That first image was correctly displayed.
This one is incorrectly displayed.

This is happening because of certain charsets on certain systems. In FusionCharts, we use the block character to display the rectangle in legend. Some systems are unable to reproduce the block and therefore show it as outline.

We're trying to investigate into this and would post an update soon.

have you had any luck?
The 'g' character of the Webdings font is a square, much like the block character. Could you embed that character and use that?

in lack of your reply, i tried to replace the block character with a g with font face as the embeded webdings, however using the included files and flash 8, i get compiler errors in Map.as about:
objects.LEGEND
objects.BACKGROUND
objects.PLOT
objects.TOOLTIP

all of these things give errors such as property does not exist.

the g character of webdings is not my only alternative...if necessary boxes can be drawn with the drawing api, but i can't get very far if i cant compile it.

your help would be appreciated as i need to address this issue asap.

Thanks

Can you for once try changing the legend's font (or outCnvBaseFont) to Arial and see if it works?
