Using the dateTimeAxis

[spacehog]

Do you always have to use a parseFunction with the dateTimeAxis (in a column
chart)?

I want to use the date I pull, via remote object, in the x axis. But,
everytime I put the column name in as the xflied value no data renders. If I
don't use an xfield value then my data displays as it is returned from the
remote object:

<mx:RemoteObject id="chartmth_RO" showBusyCursor="true"
destination="ColdFusion" source="usagecenter_local.cfc.charts_usage_mth">
<mx:method name="qMonthlyUsage" result="get_Result(event)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>

<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:VBox left="10" top="10" right="10" bottom="10">
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" id="details" dataProvider="{flatDP}"/>
<mx:ColumnChart id="usagechart1" height="95%" width="99%"
dataProvider="{flatDP}" >
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits="days"/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:series>
<mx:ColumnSeries yField="ctLines" xField="sbbrvDT" />
</mx:series>
</mx:ColumnChart>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Canvas>

Found my answer. As long as the date is in a format of mm/dd/yy no formatting is needed
