What happened to CompositeSymbol after flex api 3.0?

AntonNovichikhin

In the API version 3.0 I could create fillsymbol with markers at vertexes.
e.g.

<esri:CompositeSymbol id="fill">
[INDENT]<esri:SimpleFillSymbol alpha="0.2" color="0x000000" style="solid">
[INDENT]<esri:outline>
[INDENT]<esri:SimpleLineSymbol width="3" color="0x00FFCC"/>[/INDENT]
</esri:outline>[/INDENT]    
</esri:SimpleFillSymbol>
<esri:SimpleMarkerSymbol color="0x00EEBB" size="12" style="circle"/>[/INDENT]
</esri:CompositeSymbol>

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25328[/ATTACH]
after changing the library to 3.3 version application when I try to add a polygon graphics with such a symbol to a graphics layer application fails with the error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Composite line symbol just ignores the marker and draws without it, posting to console, but app is still alive:

Any ideas?

Anton,

   Your issue must lie somewhere else in your code as this works fine for me. Here is a sample that does what you are attempting using the 3.3 API.
