You can initialize a Legend control by binding a chart control
identifier to the Legend control's dataProvider
property,
or you can define an Array of LegendItem objects.

The <mx:Legend>
tag inherits all the properties
of its parent classes and adds the following properties:

accentColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: Yes Theme: spark Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 4 Runtime Versions: Flash10, AIR 1.5 Accent color used by component skins. The default button skin uses this color to tint the background. Slider track highlighting uses this color. The default value is #0099FF . | Legend | ||
backgroundAlpha | Type: Number CSS Inheritance: No Theme: halo, spark Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 3 Runtime Versions: Flash9, AIR 1.1 Alpha level of the color defined by the backgroundColor
property, of the image or SWF file defined by the backgroundImage
style.
Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. For most controls, the default value is 1.0,
but for ToolTip controls, the default value is 0.95 and for Alert controls, the default value is 0.9.

backgroundColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: No Theme: halo, spark Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 3 Runtime Versions: Flash9, AIR 1.1 Background color of a component. You can have both a backgroundColor and a

are undefined , the component has a transparent background.
For the Application container, this style specifies the background color while the application loads, and a background gradient while it is running. Flex calculates the gradient pattern between a color slightly darker than the specified color, and a color slightly lighter than the specified color. The default skins of most Flex controls are partially transparent. As a result, the background color of
a container partially "bleeds through" to controls that are in that container. You can avoid this by setting the
alpha values of the control's <mx:Container backgroundColor="0x66CC66"/> <mx:ControlName ... fillAlphas="[1,1]"/> </mx:Container> | Legend | ||

The default skins of most Flex controls are partially transparent. As a result, the background color of
a container partially "bleeds through" to controls that are in that container. You can avoid this by setting the

backgroundImage . The background image is displayed
on top of the background color.
The default value is undefined , meaning "not set".
If this style and the backgroundColor style are undefined,
the component has a transparent background.
The default skins of most Flex controls are partially transparent. As a result, the background image of
a container partially "bleeds through" to controls that are in that container. You can avoid this by setting the
