drawinginfo.renderer.symbol.source...

[RoyceSimpson]

At beta, update 3, I was doing with success...
item.legendImage = o.drawingInfo.renderer.symbol.source;

to get the image source url string for point features.

Now the "source" property returns a ByteArray and crashes the app.

I was using the string to populate a custom Item object as show above. Then using the item in a List object for a custom legend/TOC.

How can I do the same thing now with a ByteArray?  I notice that what used to be a url with PNG file is now like this:
"http://hiatus/ArcGIS/rest/services/dev/EM_Assets/MapServer/32/images/C8D05CC1"

Anyway, I'd just like to be able to use the drawinginfo property (or whatever property would have the image path for point features) for the point symbol.

Thanks much.

Here is more verbose code snippet for what I was doing successfully at beta update3...

   protected function titlewindow1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
   {
    emLayerList.selectedIndices = selectedIndices;
   
    emAssetLayer.getAllDetails(new AsyncResponder(onResult, onFault));
   }
   private function onResult(allDetailsResult:AllDetails, token:Object = null):void
   {
    _emLayerDetails=allDetailsResult.layersDetails;
   
    _emLayerListDataProvider = new ArrayCollection;
   
    for each (var o:Object in _emLayerDetails)
    {
     var item:Item = new Item;
     item.layerID = o.id;
     item.name = o.name;
      if (o.geometryType == "esriGeometryPoint")
     {
      item.legendImage = o.drawingInfo.renderer.symbol.source;
     }
     _emLayerListDataProvider.addItem(item);
    }
   
   }

You could call http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/symbols/Symbol.html#createSwatch() or pass the ByteArray to the Flex Image component as it's source.

Thanks Dasa,
I've got the ByteArray working... what would be an example usage of the createSwatch method?  How would I use the resulting object as the source from an Image?

You can just add the UIComponent returned by createSwatch() to a container to view a representation of the symbol.
