flashMovie.setData(data)
This function can be used for setting the chart's data on the fly. Data must be in CSV form. Note, that this will work properly if you do not compare data sets, as only currently selected data set will receive this data.
flashMovie.appendData(data[,remove_count])
This function can be used to append new data to the currently selected dataset. This is extremely useful when your dataset is quite big and you add a few values every period, and don't want to reload the whole dataset. The data must be in CSV. The remove_count variable is optional and sets the number of data points that should be removed from the beginning of dataset.
flashMovie.setSettings(settings[,rebuild],reset_selected)
This function can be used to set multiple (or a single) setting at a runtime. The settings must be passed in XML form, using the same names as in settings file. The settings string must not contain line breaks, double quotes must be replaced with single quotes. For example:
flashMovie.setSettings("<settings><background><color>#CC0000</color><alpha>100</alpha></background></settings>");
The "rebuild" option might be "true" or "false" (the default is "true"). If you set it to "false", then the settings will not be applied until you call another new JS function: flashMovie.rebuild() or pass another set of settings with the "rebuild" set to "true".
The "reset_selected" option resets the selected settings to their initial state after this function runs. If this is not used, the settings remain in their changed state.
Note, if you want to change some existing settings of the settings items which can be multiple, such as <data_set>, <chart>, <graph>, you must add an ID for these settings both in your main setting and when passing them with this function. The id is formed out of the first letter of a setting name and the "id", for example:
<chart cid="0"> or <data_set did="1"> or <graph gid="2">
flashMovie.getSettings()
This function will ask Flash to return the whole settings XML. When you call this function to return the data, Flash will call the amReturnSettings(chart_id, settings) function.
flashMovie.rebuild()
This function will rebuild the chart. If you set some settings using setSettings() function, with the "rebuild" set to "false", then you can use this function to redraw the chart after several portions of settings were set.
flashMovie.reloadData()
This function will reload the data.
flashMovie.reloadSettings([file_name])
This function will reload the settings. The file_name variable is optional, if you do not set it here, settings from the original file will be reloaded. You can set a new settings file every time you call this function.
flashMovie.setEvents(events, [remove_old])
This function allows to add events at runtime. Use default event XML syntax: <events><event>….</event></events>. If you set the remove_old to true, the old events will be removed. Default value is "false".
flashMovie.setEvents("<events><event><date>2008-04-24</date><letter>A</letter><description><![CDATA[Price of Antarctica had a headache]]></description></event><event><date>2008-03-24</date><letter>B</letter><description><![CDATA[It was the hottest day of Spring]]></description></event></events>");
flashMovie.setTrendLines(trend_lines, [remove_old])
This function allows adding trend lines at a runtime. Use default trend line XML syntax: <trend_lines><trend_line>….</trend_line></trend_lines>. If you set the remove_old to true, the old trend_lines will be removed. Default value is "false".
flashMovie.setTrendLines("<trend_lines><trend_line><date0>2008-03-10</date0><date1>2008-04-11</date1><value0>119.69</value0><value1>147.14</value1><axis>right</axis></trend_line></trend_lines>");
flashMovie.setParam(param, value)
This function lets you change a single setting. The parameter names are formed using the section name and the parameter name, separated with a period. For example, the background opacity setting is:
<background> <alpha></alpha>
The parameter name will be: background.alpha
As there may be more than one data_set, chart or graph, you should add its sequential number in square brackets (counting from 0), for example:
data_sets.data_set[0].title
It is recommended to use setSettings(settings) function instead of setParam function since v 1.6.0.0
flashMovie.getParam(param)
This function will ask Flash to return the value of a setting. The parameter name is formed in the same way as the setParam function (described above). When you call this function to return the setting value, Flash will call the amReturnParam(chart_id, param) function.
flashMovie.getData()
This function will ask Flash to return the whole data. When you call this function to return the data, Flash will call the amReturnData(chart_id, data) function.
flashMovie.exportImage([file_name])
This function will start the process of exporting the chart as an image. The file_name is a name of a file to which image data will be posted (files provided in the download package are export.php and export.aspx). The file_name is optional and can be set in the <export_as_image><file> setting.
flashMovie.print()
This function will print the chart. Use this print function if you don't have any values rotated by 90 degrees, also if you don't have a custom bitmap background.
flashMovie.printAsBitmap()
Another print function. Use it if you have values rotated by 90 degrees and/or a custom bitmap background.
flashMovie.setZoom(from, to)
This function will change the selected period. "From" and "to" values must use date format, specified in <data_set><csv><date_format>.
