Hello. I am in the process of writing a widget to save annotations to SVG and its mostly working except that the TextSymbol graphic symbols created by the FlexViewer's Draw widget are not recognized by their actual type, i.e. TextSymbol. If I have a text graphic named textGraphic, "textGraphic.symbol is TextSymbol" evaluates to false even though the type of textGraphic.symbol is com.esri.ags.symbols::TextSymbol and there are no other TextSymbol classes defined. I put together a simple widget to test this behavior. Adding any graphic other than a text graphic will turn one of the "Is" labels to true, while for text graphics all labels remain false. Tell me if you get the same results. Any help would be appriciated.Note: This behavior only occurs when the graphic is accessed by another widget. When accessing the widget from the Draw widget code itself, "textGraphic.symbol is TextSymbol" will evaluate true as expected. But from another widget, its consistently false.
