Hi Aaron, Thanks for you reply. I was just wondering that I am currently doing the styling in initialize() method. So the charts is not rendered until that time, so why is the default flex axis is getting rendered. When the chart is rendered my styles should already be set.
So how the updateDisplayList() method is getting called. I need to get my styles set before the updateDisplayList() method is called. Do you have any idea if preinitialize() method help ??
