Bottom line:
{quote}
It's stacked the bars and lines together. For Pete's sake. That's not very clever. And is a bug. One never means to do that on a chart: the various types of series might be stacked within their type, but each type's stacking should be discrete from other types.

Also this is a regression from earlier versions of CF, which behaved correctly.

re "closed/deferred/thirdparty"... can you please provide evidence of where you've raised an enhancement request with ZingCharts to see if they can implement the needful? Plus you've basically shipped a regression here. What happened to your "backwards compat" mantra? You only apply it when it's a way of shirking work, don't you? Admit it. -- Adam

This is not a third-party problem as it works as it should. In order to set these properly you need to set a z-index for each layer. Since cfchartseries does not accept the style attribute, you must use the external stylesheet. The fix would be to add a z-index attribute to the cfchartseries. If you look at the ZingChart example http://www.zingchart.com/gallery/?ID=28231 (the code) you will see a z-index setting for each series.

Stephen that *Zingcharts* is working "as it should" is not being contested. <cfchart>'s implementation of ZingCharts is NOT working as it should as what I detail is regressive behaviour compared to how <cfchart> used to work, pre-ZingCharts. It should be neither here nor there what underlying engine is in use: the behaviour of <cfchart> should not have regressions like this. It sounds like, though, Adobe can fix this easily enough: applying a different z-index to each line type in a hybrid stacked chart. So I think this needs reopening.

Adam, I agree it should be re-opened. Just wanted to point out what the fix needs to be.

What does the "ToTrack" (sic) status mean?
