I tried something else on a suggestion, that also did not work, even though it seems OK.
I created a style sheet entry like this: .legendRenderer { legendMarkerRenderer: ClassReference ("mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer"); } I made sure the style sheet was included in my app. I then set the style of my series like this: for(var k:int = 0; k < tmpSeriesArrayColl.length - 1; k++) { ls = new LineSeries(); ls.displayName = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].name; ls.yField = 'value'; ls.xField = 'time'; ls.form = "line"; ls.dataProvider = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].data; stroke = new Stroke(); //Use the color specified in XML for the stroke stroke.color = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].color; stroke.weight = 1; ls.setStyle("lineStroke", stroke); ls.styleName = "legendRenderer"; this.linechart.series[k] = ls; } } It still complained that the object did not find the IFactory interface. So it is trying to load my renderer. It looks like the answer would be to sub-class the renderer and implement the IFactory interface. Just thought I would share in case anyone sees this issue. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "mgrayfmr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am creating LineSeries objects dynamically, and I want to be able > to use the CircleItemRenderer for the legend. > I tried doing this several ways, but get an error that the renderer > cannot be cast to a type of IFactory.
