Chart Milestones using annotationElements

I was asked about how to introduce milestones by a co-worker the other day and did up this little example to help her out. I realized then that for Flex beginners the dataTransform and annotationElements might be confusing, so hopefully this helps others out too.

A really basic example of using annotationElements and the dataTransform methods to transform horizontal axis values to coordinate values. It draws an HRule instance at the selected horizontalAxis point and provides a button to link to details re: the milestone point.

Brendan!
You Rock, Great work! on annotations, thanks for sharing your work!
one more thing to add to this! how can you add multiple annotations, on the basis of right click & then link it to a place, something similar to google finance.

Thanks Again,
Arthur

Hello Brendan,

thanks for creating all those great examples to help the flex coders. I have noticed this example "Chart Milestones using annotationElements" is not working properly. What ever month you select only Jan shows up and there are not dines on the chart. Is that a bug or I do not know how to use this chart???

Regards...
