2010-01-29 XY and Radar charts added to Flex components

The most exciting news about version 1.4.0.0 is that we added XY (or Scatter/Bubble) and Radar (Polar) charts.

Upgrading from previous version

The new chart types caused some changes in the structure, so there will be several things you’ll need to do when migrating from previous versions. We are sorry for this inconvenience but we feel it is the absolutely necessary change for the sake of consistency in all future versions.

1. AmCartesianChart class renamed to AmSerialChart – simply change the name in your applications.

2. “cartesian” folder with classes like AmGraph, ChartScrollbar, ChartCursor changed to “chartClasses” – if you import one of these classes in your Actionscript, you should change the path to the class.

3. AmChart, AmBalloon, AmLegend classes were moved from com.amcharts to com.amcharts.chartClasses. Change the paths to these classes too.

4. Even if you do not use these classes in your ActionScript, but only mxml, Flex builder can cache the old paths to these classes and show errors when compiling application. The most easy way to solve this is to remove all your amChart objects from the application, save it and bring it back exactly as it was. Now the application should compile properly.

5. CartesianChartEvent is renamed to SerialChartEvent.

6. PieChartEvent and SerialChartEvent (previously CartesianChartEvent) do not have dataUpdated event type anymore. dataUpdated event is now AmChartEvent’s type.

The final version of Flex components will be released on February 8. We do not plan adding new features during this time. The structure won’t change again.
