I've read this thread: http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=15234 and the last reply by Generator seems to be almost what I'm after but this line stumps me (specifically the part in bold):
Create a single movie clip in the library with a colored square and the {value} and {label} text.
I've just started learning Geny today, but I'm very compitent with ActionScript. My objective is to give each item in my pie chart an ID so that on mouse over I can index into an array (based on the ID) and display some relevent data. I'm having trouble keeping track of the data though. Generator seems to dump it once it's done. I believe the thread I quoted will help me do this. If someone could help me with that line, or send me a FLA, or suggest a better way to do what I'm attempting. I'm all ears. Thanks peeps!

hi jesse,

i'm brand new to generator too. but i took a shot at what was being talked about in the thread. I kinda get the {value} and {label} text. Aren't those text boxes in the mc with the variable value and label in them??

i took a shot at making a fla based on the thread description, but in my value box i get the label... and label is the label. it does but the colored squares in a nice line. sorry if it is of no use.

i don't know if it will help, but i've uploaded my files. i want to learn this stuff.
the generator project i'm working on now is mostly image and text... have not used any pie chart objects, yet.
