breaking up line chart in flex charting

I am wondering how will i proceed with the following requirement. I need to create a line chart of business data of the last 8 quarters. It is easy, but the requirement is that, there should not be a connection between last year's Q4 and this years Q1. In effect, using the same array collection i need to split the line chart so开发者_StackOverflow中文版 that it looks like two diffferent lines on the same chart. Any idea how to proceed with it.

Thanks, PK

First, you can add multiple line series by a criteria in your Array Collection:

<mx:series>
           <mx:LineSeries 
                yField="Profit" 
                displayName="Profit"
           />
           <mx:LineSeries 
                yField="Expenses" 
                displayName="Expenses"
           />
        </mx:series>

You can change the width and color of the lines for each series by using the tag. Making each line a different stroke and color.
