Chart Component Help

Question

Hi all.
I have a client who is needing some dynamic graphs. I have
downloaded and installed the "Charting Components, V1.0" from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn111&extID=377283
Ive used this tutorial from 4GuysFromRolla
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/032603-1.shtml
All is fine and good. Ive got my charts showin, my data XML
asp pages poppin.. its all good.
Part of the project requirements are to recreate a paper
report they mail out online with the colors and general formatting
the same.
I was up till OMG last night pulling my hair out trying to
make the pie chart pieces specific colors.
I will have a set number of data values and pie chart/bar
chart items, so any recursive looping for colors isnt really
necessary if I can if/then something and then just hard set them.
I am a complete n00b when it comes to actionscript, however
am a pretty grissled VBScript veteran. After many hours I found
buried in the layers of the chart this routine which I *believe*
sets the hory clap fugly default colors..
Pie Chart Actions Frame
Begin Code
#initclip 3
FPieChartClass = function()
this.initPalette = function()
this.piePalette = [];
this.paletteIndex = 0;
this.getNextColor = function()
{ var fillColor;
if(this.paletteIndex > this.PieColors.length)
{ var r = (50 + this.paletteIndex * rs + 250);
var g = (50 + this.paletteIndex * gs + 140);
var b = (50 + this.paletteIndex * bs + 130);
r = (r <= 255) ? r : r % 255;
g = (g <= 255) ? g : g % 255;
b = (b <= 255) ? b : b % 255;
fillColor = r << 16 | g << 8 | b;
} else {
fillColor =
parseInt(this.PieColors[this.paletteIndex].substr(2, 6), 16);
this.paletteIndex++;
return fillColor;
End Code
if I put
fillColor = 0x000000
return fillColor;
I get all black pieces.
If I try and do a counter and an if, it fries the chart.
Any help would be incredibly appreciated, and if not, a
direction to a good **cheap** alternative.
Thanks in advance,
Charlie
