Overview

The AnyChart Stock component supports over 30 different types of events for for all occasions. These events can be obtained from the component and then handled with the AnyChartStock class, an object of which is bound to the Flash Player when embedding a chart in a page.

Event Handling Technique

For each event, the AnyChartStock class has a special property, which is also a link to the event handler function. Event handlers can be set inline or by setting the handler function name to the corresponding property.

Here is a sample demonstrating declaring onChartDraw event handler inline:

var chart = new AnyChartStock("swf/AnyChartStock.swf"); chart.setXMLFile("config.xml"); chart.onChartDraw = function() { alert ("onChartDraw"); }; chart.write("chartContianer");

A sample demonstrating the use of a stand-alone function as the onChartDraw event handler:

function onChartDrawEventHandler() { alert('Event: onChartDraw'); } var chart = new AnyChartStock("swf/AnyChartStock.swf"); chart.setXMLFile("config.xml"); chart.onChartDraw = onChartDrawEventHandler; chart.write("chartContianer");
