There can be an OMGraphicList for an entry, representing a multi-part
geometry.

Does the ShapeLayer have a projection to work with? The ShapeLayer's
SpatialIndex uses a projection to determine what shapes to retrieve
from the shape file. How are you loading the Shape file? Just
telling the ShapeLayer the name doesn't do it. Look at the prepare()
method, which is where you probably want to do this stuff.

You don't want to do this work in the paint thread. Do the work in
the prepare() method, and then set the Stroke and fill/line paint on
the OMGraphic based on the attribute values. The painting will take
care of itself after that.
