Chris,


Off the top of my head, you should be able to make a rectangle that's as

wide as a bar and as tall as whatever increment you want to use in your

graph, convert it to a movie clip, and then duplicate it as many times

as the graph is tall.  I did this kind of thing in the pie chart example

I posted yesterday (reads data via ASP from an Access database), only

the slice repeats rather than a rectangle.  You can see it and download

the fla for some example actionscript code at

http://i-technica.com/whitestuff/piechart.html if you want.


Regards,

Helen
