It seems to me, that there is a bug/inconsistency (at least in Flexbuilder 3
and the Flex compiler it uses) between MXML and Actionscript 3 when it comes to
LineSeries.showDataEffect. Or, I'm just missing or not understanding something.
For example, the following works for the showDataEffect property of LineSeries,
no problem:
<mx:LineSeries showDataEffect="{myEffect}" />
However, when you do the same with AS3, the compiler complains and codehinting
for showDataEffect doesn't work:
import mx.charts.series.LineSeries; //OK
var myLineSeries:LineSeries = new LineSeries(); //OK
myLineSeries.showDataEffect = myEffect; // <-- THIS BREAKS. WHY?
When I say it breaks, I mean codehinting fails to find the showDataEffect
property on LineSeries and the compiler complains there is no showDataEffect
property on LineSeries. Is this a bug? I have googled it, and found others have
had the same problem, but have not found any answers (neither did they).
Any ideas? I need to do this dynamically with AS3 if possible, but this error
or "bug" is stopping me.
