Thematic Map Widget not working?

[FranciscoCaldeira]

It looks like the thematic Map widget is not working in Arcgis Flex version 3.0. When I click on a feature I should be able to see a infowindow insteed of this error message.

I'm using this Widget in a custom aplication but I'm experiencing the same problem. Is it just me or anyone noticed the same problem?

Kind regards

Francisco,

  You are not the only one seeing this. Maybe the viewer team will see this and get it fixed for the next release.

Thanks for reporting this. Following workaround (for flex sdk 4.6 regression) will be added in the next release of the viewer..

Add to InfoColumnChartWidget.mxml following funtions:

private function basewidget_preinitializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                // work-around for 4.6 regression
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartBase");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.chartClasses.CartesianChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.chartClasses.PolarChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.BarChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.ColumnChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.LineChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.PieChart");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.AxisRenderer");
                copyStyleFromParent(".blockCategoryAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent(".blockNumericAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent(".linedNumericAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent(".dashedNumericAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent(".dashedCategoryAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent(".hangingCategoryAxis");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.GridLines");
                copyStyleFromParent(".horizontalGridLines");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.series.BarSeries");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.series.ColumnSeries");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.series.LineSeries");
                copyStyleFromParent("mx.charts.series.PieSeries");
            }
            
            private function copyStyleFromParent(selector:String):void
            {
                var chartBaseStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = styleManager.getStyleDeclaration(selector);
                if (!chartBaseStyle && styleManager.parent)
                {
                    var parentStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = styleManager.parent.getStyleDeclaration(selector);
                    if (parentStyle)
                    {
                        styleManager.setStyleDeclaration(selector, parentStyle, false);
                    }
                }
            }

and update following:

<viewer:BaseWidget xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                   xmlns:viewer="com.esri.viewer.*"
                   creationComplete="init()"
                   preinitialize="basewidget_preinitializeHandler(event)"
                   implements="com.esri.viewer.IInfowindowTemplate">
