Is there such a thing as a good looking Flex 4 Gauge component?
The degrafa gauge looks great but it doesn't work with Flex 4

I've seen similar runtime errors when using a swc that is compiled against a different version of the SDK.

So, I recommend getting the Degrafa source ( http://www.degrafa.org/code/ ) and compile it against the same SDK version you are doing with your project. Then recompile the Guage component.

Unfortunately Degrafa won't compile with Flex 4. There are some problems with fill() calls and interface implementations.

Hi this issue is fixed in a specific build. Greg and to some extent myself are working to make Degrafa work correctly in flex 4. Download the DegrafaFlex4.swc and try that. An official release will be made when we get closer to full compatibility. That specific swc will fix the issue with fills.

cheers

Personally I am very fond of the IBM ILOG Elixir gauges. Elixir 3.0 was released recently and supports Flex SDK 4.0 and Flash Builder 4.0
