Error in Enhanced Draw widget

[City_of_Port_Angeles_GIS]

Robert,
   I followed your instructions for integrating your enhanced draw widget into my Flex Viewer app
but I'm getting the following error:
Fault info: Error #1090: XML parser failure: element is malformed.
   I have not changed anything in your code. All search results on google refer to Action Script 3.
The problems window in Flash Builder 4 does not display any errors at all. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Bill,

  Something must have happened to the xml text you are putting into your config.xml or somehow the DrawWidget.xml has gotten corrupted. Check for syntax errors in both.

Robert,
   That was the problem! Thank you very much. The widget works fine now except when I try
to draw a polygon, circle or ellipse. I then get an error message from flash. I noticed that the units
drop down for distance is populated (meters, feet, etc.) but the one for area is empty. This is the
error message I get:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I've checked the DrawWidget.xml and I don't see anything wrong. No missing carets, no misspelling, etc. The polygon gets drawn, but the area does not display.

Bill,

    Copy all of this replacing everything in your DrawWidget.xml

Robert,
   Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. I'm sure the demands on your time are pressing if they're anything like what I have to deal with here.
   I pasted in your code but I still get the same error message when I try to draw anything that has an area. The drop down menu for area units is still empty. I tried the Adobe help for Flash 4, but couldn't
seem to find anything that pertained to my problem. If I could just figure out why the drop down menu isn't being populated, I think I might be able to resolve this. So far no luck. Any more ideas
would be greatly appreciated.
   Also, does ESRI have an MVP for this forum and if so how do I vote?

Bill,

  This is very strange. Are you using the compiled or uncompiled?

[City_of_Port_Angeles_GIS]

Robert,
   I am using the uncompiled version.

Bill,

   I don't really have a clue why you are running into this issue. Can you download it again and replace everything?

[City_of_Port_Angeles_GIS]

Robert,
   That was the answer! Works like a charm and NO ERROR MESSAGES! Beautiful widget Robert,
keep up the good work and thanks again for all your help.

Dear Robert,
          The enhanced Draw Widget work fine, however, when I use the mouse and click on the polygon that I drawn, right click the mouse, apart from the "Clear Feature" options, there are two other options below. when I select these two options, the function displayed a lot of red outline rectanlge and gone mad....how can I disable these two options if I don't need them?

Thank you for your help and look forward to your reply

John
