I did a small hack in the Flex charting code and removed the Trial message from the Charting component by writing 1 simple actionscript lines.

what you need to do is in the creationcomplete of any charting component write the following code

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

private function removeTrialMsg():void{
         var arra : Array = new Array();
           for(var i:int =0;i<this.numChildren;i++){
            arra.push(this.getChildAt(i));
           }

// the above 4 lines are just to check what r the childs added
(this.getChildAt(this.numChildren-1) as TextField).htmlText = " ";
}

we tried to set visible false but that dint work we also tried to remove the textfield child alltogether but that too dint work but finally it was the html text property of the textfield that gave way.

now you can also add your custom trial message to your application :)

just replace the blank with your text for example:

1
2
3

private function removeTrialMsg():void{
(this.getChildAt(this.numChildren-1) as TextField).htmlText = "this is TRIAL";
}

But its better that you buy your own licence key for charting. The above example was basically for educational purpose. have fun :)
