After working on my new data visualization project at Grooveshark, I’ve been looking for a way to remove the DataTip “targets”, which I have considered calling “points”, “dots”, and “circles” in my search to turn these little things off.

In case you don’t know what they are, here’s a picture:


After trudging through the Flex SDK source code, turns out its a simple style setting for the ChartBase class. Now I feel silly…

var myChart:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
myChart.setStyle("showDataTipTargets",false);

or in MXML

<mx:ColumnChart showDataTipTargets="false"/>
