Re: [flexcoders] Ely: StoplightRenderer example doesn't work right in release

[Pan Troglodytes]

This brings up another point.  I could just add multiple PieSeries.  Unfortunately, setting a PieSeries.visible=false does not actually take it out of the chart.  Even though it's hidden, it still affects the other series and such.  This seems counter-productive.

Hmmm. Honestly, I'm surprised that worked in beta 3.  
Regardless, the series is caching instances of the itemRenderer, and not 
correctly releasing them when you switch to a different renderer.  The only 
workaround I can see right now is to create a new PieSeries rather than just 
changing the itemRenderer.

Ely,Okay, I admit, the subject is a LITTLE misleading.  Your 
original page for the stoplight renderer (http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/data-based-renderers/ 
) does still work.  But a slight derivative of it now seems to 
fail.I'm specifically referring to setting the itemRenderer at 
runtime.  Using setStyle("itemRenderer", ...), the chart never seems to 
update.  Below is my example based on your example.  I show three 
charts.  The first is using a switchable item renderer, the second is using 
MyStoplightItemRenderer, the third using MyStoplightItemRenderer2.  The 
radio button is supposed to switch the first chart back and forth these 
two.  This used to work under the beta.  Now it seems to have no 
effect. Can you confirm this is a bug in Flex?  I'm not going to 
post it to the bug webpage yet in case you just changed how you are supposed to 
approach this problem.Stoplight.mxml:<?xml version="1.0"
