How to add FEMA WMS layer into config using 3.2 App Builder?

Question

I am trying to add the FEMA WMS layer into the App builder (3.2) without any luck. Ive tried adding it using the GetCapabilities, GetMap and GetFeatureInfo urls. Has anyone else been successful with adding this layer using app builder? 
Thanks
Gerald

Since this WMS service is powered by ArcGIS for Server, it's usually better to add it as an arcgis layer instead of WMS (or WMTS):
http://fema-services2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/ABFE_pub/Preliminary_Work_Map/MapServer

The following tag seem to work fine:<layer type="dynamic" label="Preliminary Work Map" visible="true"
url="http://fema-services2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/ABFE_pub/Preliminary_Work_Map/MapServer"/>

The same is true for all other FEMA WMS services hosted on http://fema-services2.esri.com

Hello Joseph,
No unfortunately i never did get it to work. Only way i ever got it to work and display was using a javascript application created by using arcgis online. i do know that FEMA has generated a rest endpoint now with the FEMA data but i have had troubles with that also. i can add the layer fine inside ArcMap. its just when i try and use it inside a flex application that causes problems.

Hi Gerald, did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to add FEMA's ABFE WMS map to my FV 3.3 application with no luck. All I get is a blank screen when I try and turn it on as a base map.
