The HitData class represents information about the data item at a specific location on the screen. Flex returns the HitData structure for mouse events on chart data points. It describes what data points are under the current mouse position.

You can also get a HitData structure describing the data point at a specific location in the chart using the chart control's findDataPoints() method.
