hi

i have added the highligted code to LEgendSkin skin class file (com.esri.ags.skins.LegendSkin) but it makes no difference to the legend
and i tried commenting few lines in the legendskin class file

// exclude Spacer if sublayer is not visible
if (serviceGroups.getElementAt(e) is mx.controls.Spacer)
{
      if (isSubLayerVisible)
      {
          mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).visible = mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).includeInLayout = true;
   if (!subLayerInScaleRange(leafLayerLegendInfo))
   {
       if (hostComponent.respectCurrentMapScale)
       {
           mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).visible = mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).includeInLayout = false;
       }
   }
      }
      else
      {
          mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).visible = mx.controls.Spacer(serviceGroups.getElementAt(e)).includeInLayout = false;
      }
                }

what could be the reason if u can tell me it will be great help

thanks

Legend for 2 standalone layers. (code) - only selected service visible in Legend component.

Show your code. (it's easyest way to find bugs in your code)

In this sample:
1 - Layer visibility change works.
2 - Legend content change works.
