Description

1. Run the attached example.
2. Notice this NPE:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mx.charts::BarChart/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::measureLabels()
at mx.charts.series::BarSeries/updateTransform()
at mx.charts.chartClasses::Series/validateTransform()
at mx.charts.chartClasses::Series/updateDisplayList()
at mx.charts.series::BarSeries/updateDisplayList()
at mx.core::UIComponent/validateDisplayList()
at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateDisplayList()
at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()
at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiationCallback()

The crash goes away if I remove the labelPosition and labelFunction from the fourth and fifth series... but that I don't get labels on all my BarSeriesItems.
