Update Chart automatically when data is added to its dataProvider

[Adish Shah]

Hi, i have prepared a project which displays charts, which i want to be updated every second. I have used Flex to prepare my charts, which uses a php file as its dataProvider. The charts are visible to me, but what i want is there to be a updated chart every second. has anyone tried out this???

I was developing a similar project, but my data was coming from an XML file, not such a big difference. What i think you must do is, make the data Bindable and use an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection object to hold the data. You can use the socket events to grab new data into the flash file. in case you are still not getting it, please do post here.

I was stuck up on the same thing some time back, but i somehow sorted that out, but then there cropped another error that i am trying to fix. the error is somewhat like this cannot convert mx.managers:ragManagerImpl@3a0cd09 to mx.managers.IDragManager. And it occurs only when i load and unload more than two times. Don't see any problems from my side. does anyone have any idea about it..???

Hey thanks for help buddies, i am able to start and run the code, with the requisite results. My code was something like this;

public function counter():void { 
var count:counter = new Timer(10000); 
count.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateData); 
count.start(); 
}

hooray my charts are getting refreshed now
