Hello,
I am migrating my application from 1.3 to 2.0; and from Flex 3 to Flash Builder 4.
My application:
1) Displays a map with dam locations
2) allows the user to pick a point and distance for a buffer
3) shows the results of which dams are within the buffer in a datagrid.
My revised application works, up until the user rolls over anything in the datagrid.
Then I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at dams_v2/findGraphicByAttribute()
at dams_v2/onItemRollOver()
at dams_v2/__dg_itemRollOver()
...
It would seem that something is out of order, but I don't know what it is.
Thanks for any help.
Dorothy
