    Hi!
    The is a bug in Legend showing. Try to append the next code:
    legend: {
    cursor:”pointer”,
    itemclick : function(e) {
    if (typeof(e.dataSeries.visible) === “undefined” || e.dataSeries.visible) {
    e.dataSeries.visible = false;
    } else {
    e.dataSeries.visible = true;
    }
    chart.render();
    }
    }

    into the options of chart and try to click on “DataSeries 3” after that!
