Get colors and text from Legend or chart?

Question

It seems to be impossible ( or at least I cannot find a way to ) to wrap the labels in the Legend control.
so I will have to write my own legend control that can do this.
In order to create a Legend control I will need to get a array of the colors used in the Chart ( or legend) and apply these to the new legend control. Can anyone advise how I can do this?
thanks

Hi Natasha
I have tried:
for each(var item in myChart.series.legendData ){
trace("series item is : " + item);
And
for each(var item in myChart.series.items){
trace("series item is : " + item);
UPDATE: I have also tried:
trace ("legendData is : " + myChart.series[0].legendData); 
trace("items is : " + myChart.series[0].items);
for each(var item:Array in myChart.series[0].legendData){ 
trace("series item is : "+ item);
And again the trace statement in the for each loop is never reached, and the other trace statements are empty (besides the initial string), yet I can see in the variables window of Eclipse that there should be data.
And I have a breakpoint on the trace statement, yet in both cases the breakpoint is never reached. I am not getting any error message.
Also, when editing, when I put the '.' after myChart.series I do not get either legendData or items in the 'intellisense', just methods. Perhaps the intellisense is very limited.
Anyway, can you advise on another way to get the colors and labels from a chart so I can create my own legend, which can wrap the labels?
Many thanks
