Flex 4, chart, Error 1009
- by Stephane
Hello,
I am new to flex development and I am stuck with this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mx.charts.series::LineSeries/findDataPoints()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\datavisualization\src\mx\charts\series\LineSeries.as:1460]
at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartBase/findDataPoints()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\datavisualization\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\ChartBase.as:2202]
at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartBase/mouseMoveHandler()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\datavisualization\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\ChartBase.as:4882]
I try to create a chart where I can move the points with the mouse
I notice that the error doesn't occur if I move the point very slowly
I have try to use the debugger and pint some debug every where without success
All the behaviours were ok until I had the modifyData
Please let me know if you have some experience with this kind of error
I will appreciate any help.
Is it also possible to remove the error throwing because after that the error occur
if I click the dismiss all error button then the component work great
there is the simple code of the chart

UPDATE 30/2010 :
the null object is _renderData.filteredCache from the chartline
the code call before error is the default mouseMoveHandler of chartBase to chartline.
Is it possible to remove it ? or provide a filteredCache
