GraphicsLayer Symbol by GeometryType

Question

Dear ArcGIS API Flex Team,

I've noticed that GraphicsLayer.SymbolFunction has been deprecated. Now I believe that I must use Renderer instead.

Is there a way of specifying the symbols for the GraphicsLayer for each type of geometry (Point, Polyline and Polygon)?

I've searched in the samples but I was unable to find it.

Thanks advanced,

José Sousa

You need to pass an instance. e.g.

<esri:GraphicsLayer id="debugGL2" symbol="{sfs}" renderer="{new MyRenderer()}"/>

Janice,
 
    What does your MyRenderer code look like?

I need to accomplish the same task.  I created the renderer class in an external flex library project(MyRenderer), but how do I implement the renderer in the GraphicsLayer (mxml)?

When I tried to point the renderer to the class:

<esri:GraphicsLayer id="debugGL2" symbol="{sfs}" renderer="{test.MyRenderer}"/>

I get 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type com.esri.ags.renderers:Renderer.

I am fairly new at this, so apologies in advance for my naivete.  Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
