Nice Google-finance-esque chart navigator
March 10th, 2007
Check out Brendan’s chart range selection sample that emulate’s google finance’s nice chart navigator. I love this example because
- it’s done mostly in MXML, with very little actionscript required
- it uses a component from the ever growing collection of excellent 3rd party community flex components
- it’s just so damn cool.
Great work, Brendan (and, by extension, Doug).

Impressive use of MXML. It’d be cool if all charting components had some type of zoom mechanism like the range selector built in.

Anyone know how to chart multiple (more than 2 series) with some series on one vertical axis, and other series on another vertical axis?

Very similar to Yahoo! Finance’s chart. They have a much better chart, IMHO. (But Google gets all the credit as usual :))

Bob, you can do it… carefully. I actually had to do that for the company I work for recently as a proof of concept, and basically you need to know the length of your entire dataset first, and then you can plot the other items and use a phantom series as the main series of the chart whose length is bound to the slider. I hope that helps, if not, drop me an email. If anyone knows a better way, I think this would be a great thing to turn into a component in and of itself.
