Can I have a flex chart that has both plots and lines?

Flex has a plotchart component and a linechart component.. but I am looking to make a chart that has lines connecting 开发者_如何学运维points as well as larger dots with rollover info. Is this easily possible? Would I have to create a custom component from scratch to achieve this?

It looks like what you need is a LineChart with itemRenderer rather than a mixed type chart.

Have a look at Displaying data points in Flex Line chart

If I understand you correctly, you want a chart with multiple series, of different display types. This is pretty easy to do in Flex. This article on multiple-series charts should get you started.

If you need Flex 3, try this article.

Here is a very basic example of a plot+line chart. It's not pretty at all, but it might give you an idea of how to get going.
