Dynamic Legend Error

ScottSnider — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:07:49 GMT

I am new to the programming world so I am trying to utilize as many code samples as I can to get a flex project up and running. Currently I am trying to add the Dynamic Legend widget to my map, but I get an error that I cannot find an answer for.

At like 363 I get:
"1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: LegendDataGroup."

Upon further invesigation it appears that FB thinks legendAC is not an arrayCollection.

If anyone can provide some input on this matter I would greatly appreicate it!!!

Scott,

LegendDataGroup is actually an Action Script file (LegendDataGroup.as). Do you have the widget in a folder named exactly DynamicLegend (i.e. widgets/DynamicLegend)? Flex is a case sensitive language.

Thanks Robert. I knew it must have been something simple (I also figured if I named this post with your widget that you would see it and reply). Thank you very much.

If someone reads this because of a similar problem here is what I did wrong:

When you download this widget use the "DynamicLegend" folder under the "Uncompiled" folder instead of the base "DynamicLegend" which holds both compiled and uncompiled versions.
