Right. I don't think it'll fix your resizeEvent prob, but you never know. Now if you look at your main app's swf, it should have grown considerably as it now has a bunch of charting code in it. If you don't like that, then you have to go to a shared code module.

That's great, thanks Alex. For future group reference, here is some code I have in the main App file: // FIX: For 'Cannot convert IStroke to Stroke' import mx.graphics.IStroke; private var dummy1:IStroke; // FIX: For 'Cannot convert PieSeriesItem to PieSeriesItem' import mx.charts.renderers.WedgeItemRenderer; private var dummy2:WedgeItemRenderer; // FIX: For 'Cannot convert Event to ResizeEvent' import mx.events.ResizeEvent; private var dummy3:ResizeEvent; dummy1 & dummy3 are just guesses, I'm experimenting to find out if they fix some problems I'm having.

It is the fact that wedgeItemRenderer needs to be in the main app or in a shared code module. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Ingram Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 6:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex is quite flakey (spurious errors!) Hmm, thanks for the link, I've gone through the presentation and I'm still a little puzzled, I use LocalConnection to simply send the XML string from the main application to the widget. I wait for the complete event to fire from the SWFLoader, then I register for the applicationComplete event to make sure the widget is loaded correctly before I attempt to send messages via the connection. What areas in my code do I need to be looking at? Is it setting the data too early or is it the part about PieSeriesItem being loaded twice? Once in the main application and once in the widget?

Ok, and that's where you run into an ApplicationDomain problem. Check Alex's blog http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/modules.html <http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/modules.html> and read the part about ApplicationDomain. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Ingram Sent: Freitag, 2.

We don't use modules as such - but we do have widgets - which are Flex applications within the main Flex application. One of the widgets is a charting widget. We simply pass some XML data to the widget and it displays it in a chart of the user's choice. One of which is a pie chart. Sporadically the pie chart will crash in the WedgeItemRenderer code. I've tried a clean, Firefox, IE7 and deleting all temporary internet files / cache.
