How do I access total in Highcharts.stack anywhere in my javascript? - highcharts

Question

I want to place stack total inside another div, but I don't know how I can access it or even store total in an array. Currently the stack totals can only be positioned within the stack chart I want to place it below the chart and just above the labels.
My code in http://jsfiddle.net/LX9HS/
$(function () {
var categoryImgs = {
'AIA': '<img src="http://dummyimage.com/60x60/ff6600/ffffff"><img> ',
'AMP':'<img src="http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png"><img> ',
'AMP RPP':'<img src="http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png"><img> ',
'Asteron Life':'<img src="http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png"><img> ',
'Fidelity Life':'<img src="http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png"><img> '
};
var totals = new Array();
var i = 0;
//totals = HighchartsAdapter
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Premium Summary'
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: ''
},
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return '$' + this.value;
}
},
stackLabels: {

style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.textColor) || 'gray',
},
format: '${total}',
formatter: function () {
totals[0] = this.point.stackTotal;
}
}
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['AIA', 'AMP', 'AMP RPP', 'Asteron Life', 'Fidelity Life'],
labels: {
x: 5,
useHTML: true,
formatter: function () {
return '<div class="stacktotal">$'+ totals[0] +'</div><div class="myToolTip" title="Hello ' + this.value + '">' + categoryImgs[this.value] + '</div>';
},
events: {
mouseover: function () {
$('#hoverboard').html('<img name="testimg" src="http://highcharts.com/demo/gfx/sun.png"><p>Hello there</p>');
},
mouseout: function () {
$('#hoverboard').html('');
}
},
}
},

}
},

dataLabels: {

style: {
textShadow: '0 0 3px black, 0 0 3px black'
},
format: '${y}'
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Policy Fee',
y:'$' + this.value,
data: [200.12, 290, 45.78, 71, 120]
}, {
name: 'WOP',
data: [150, 210.23, 150, 200, 100]
}, {
name: 'Income Protection',
data: [89, 400, 258.13, 212, 152]
}, {
name: 'Life Cover',
data: [150, 210.23, 150, 200, 100]
} ]
});
});
now shows undefined total at the bottom. Thanks for your help!

Fixed!
Now working. it is
totals[0] = this.total
I might have not added 'this' when I tried total.
