Chart causing error 1009 when enabling compatibility mode in Flash Builder 4

[BuckyTheKatt]

Hello.

I'm trying to use the chart components in Flash Builder 4. I'm using Flex SDK 4, but had to turn on the "Flex 3 compatibility mode" for some off-topic reasons.

I simply created a new application and copied the code from the DateTimeAxis class example: http://www.codigoactionscript.org/langref/as3/mx/charts/DateTimeAxis.html#includeExamplesSummary

When running the example, the following error is reported (sorry, it is in italian: it's simply the "null object" error):

TypeError: Error #1009: Impossibile accedere a una proprietà o a un metodo di un riferimento oggetto null.

at mx.charts.chartClasses::CartesianChart/updateMultipleAxesStyles()

at mx.charts.chartClasses::CartesianChart/commitProperties()

at mx.core::UIComponent/validateProperties()

at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateProperties()

at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()

at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiationCallback()

Is there a solution to this bug? We really need to use charts AND keep the Flex 3 compatibility mode.

Using the Flex SDK 4.1 fixes the issue.

I use SDK 4.1 but I also get the error: (Flashbuilder 4.0.1 in Flex 3 compatibility mode)

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at mx.charts.chartClasses::CartesianChart/updateMultipleAxesStyles()
    at mx.charts.chartClasses::CartesianChart/commitProperties()
    at mx.core::UIComponent/validateProperties()
    at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateProperties()
    at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()
    at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiationCallback()

So I guess it is not solved....

Hi,

I tried the same sample from http://www.codigoactionscript.org/langref/as3/mx/charts/DateTimeAxis.html#includeExamplesSummary but I am not able to reproduce the issue.

I am using released Flash Builder 4.0.1 (277662) and released 4.0.1 SDK (16076).

If you are seeing the issue with same sample please give us the SDK build number that you are using. Build number can be found in flex-sdk-description.xml under that SDK.

If you are seeing the issue with same SDK but with a different sample, please provide us the sample.

Thanks,

Deeptika
