Description

This is a regression in 4.6. It doesn't matter if the modules are Spark or not. Works fine in 4.5.1 and below.

See attached FB project.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create an app that uses a chart and create a module that also uses a chart.

Actual Results:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartBase/initStyles()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\charts\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\ChartBase.as:1862]

Expected Results:

No error and chart loads fine.

Workaround (if any):

Copy chart styles from module's parent styleManager into the module's own styleManager.
