Create Column Chart Component

The following example shows how you can create a column chart as a component and invoke in application
by calling the getDefintionByName() method.

ChartDef.mxml

<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” layout=”absolute”
creationComplete=”createComplete(event)”>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import MyComps.*;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
import mx.controls.*;
private var CC:PanelComp;ColumnCompChart // Initiate ColumnCompChart component.
private function createComplete(e:Event):void
{
var cls:Class = getDefinitionByName(“MyComps.ColumnCompChart”) as Class;
var instance:Object = new cls();
addChild(DisplayObject(instance) );
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

ColumnCompChart.mxml

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” width=”400″ height=”300″

title=”My Chart”>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
public var medalsAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [
{ Country: “USA”, Gold: 35, Silver:39, Bronze: 29 },
{ Country: “China”, Gold: 32, Silver:17, Bronze: 14 },
{ Country: “Russia”, Gold: 27, Silver:27, Bronze: 38 } ]);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:ColumnChart id=”Column1″ height=”100%” width=”100%”
dataProvider=”{medalsAC}”>
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:CategoryAxis categoryField=”Country”/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>

<mx:series>
<mx:ColumnSeries xField=”Country” yField=”Gold” displayName=”Country” />
<mx:ColumnSeries xField=”Country” yField=”Silver” displayName=”Country” />
<mx:ColumnSeries xField=”Country” yField=”Bronze” displayName=”Country” />
</mx:series>

</mx:ColumnChart>
<mx:Legend dataProvider=”{Column1}” />
</mx:Panel>
