Creating Custom Legend without using Legend class for Line chart in Flex

Question

I am trying to create legend in a customized manner(Hbox,Vbox containing image to indicate marker shape of line series chart) , since am creating customised legend am unable to include the shape of the marker of Line series in the legend set.The following is my code sample:

var img:Image = new Image();
img.source= new ClassFactory( mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer);

its not at all displaying an image. Is it good to use image or iflexdisplayobject

Answer 1

You should look at the source code of LegendItem where you can see that the ItemRenderer instance is assigned to a IFlexDisplayObject (the marker).

Just look at the updateDisplayList method of LegendItem to understand how to handle the renderers.
