You need to write your own itemRenderer where you can specify the texture instead of colors.

Flex barchart datatips way too dark

In your chart, there's a property called dataTipRenderer where you can create your own custom datatip. Look here for more information.

Custom grid line in a Flex Chart?

I am using the standard Flex 3 BubbleChart component and I would like to customize a couple of the grid lines separately from the rest.
I would like to highlight a gridline in the X-direction as well as in the Y-direction to show a quadrant.
Is there any way to customize the look and feel of a subset of gridlines within a Flex chart (i.e. bubble chart)?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

All rounded corners TitleWindow in Flex?

how can i get a title window with all rounded courners, so that i may make it whole round or circular shape ?
i want shape like circle..
set the property: cornerRadius
default is 4
A couple of possible approaches:
If you are using Flex 4 (spark TitleWindow as opposed to the halo TitleWindow) you can create your own skin and assign that skin in CSS. In your custom skin you can draw the background however you want, including an Ellipse set to the width and height of the TitleWindow.
If you don't want to create a skin, or you are using a halo TitleWindow, you can create a circular mask and set it as the mask property on the TitleWindow. The downside to this approach is that you will probably clip the title and the close button (if it is visible), not to mention the contents as well.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need more details on either of these approaches.
