Flex reset chart axis minimum/maximum

I am showing a stacked bar chart with Flex, and I am dynamically开发者_如何学Go changing the data of the dataprovider.

However, the minimum and maximum for the y-axis do not get reset with the new data. So if one dataset had a value of -100,000, but the next dataset has only positive values, the y-axis still starts at -100,000.

How can I force the chart to redraw. I tried myChart.validateNow(), dataprovider.refresh(), etc.

This should do the job. `

a1.maximum = NaN;
a1.minimum = NaN; // or 0 if you want it based at zero{

`

edit:

I changed the code to look like this:

<mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:CategoryAxis dataProvider="{_arrCol_chartData}"
        categoryField="Month"
        id="a1"/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
<mx:AxisRenderer axis="{a1}"
    tickPlacement="none"
    showLabels="true"
    showLine="false"/>
</mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>

and the linear axis updated perfectly.

This is a known Bug in Flex Charting when using "stacked" setting.

Try adding the chart to the module or application dynamically in actionscript. This would remove it from memory and ensure that the axis is reset.
