feature layer graphic provider

mgiles86

Why does featureLayer.graphicProvider only contain graphics of currently selected features? The same is not true for graphicsLayer.graphicProvider...

In the following code it will not enter the loop unless i do a selection beforehand...

var fl:FeatureLayer = obj.layer;            for each (var graphic:Graphic in fl.graphicProvider){       Alert.show("hello");      }

Can someone explain.

Make sure it's loaded features first. You can use a tool like HttpFox to see if it's sending query requests and listen for updateEnd events before calling your method:
