Identify 2.5.3 Help - Change Highlight?

KevinHigh

I'm using the Identify Widget to select polygons of seawall permits. They are usually stacked, so the Identify widget works great for this.

The only problem I have is once the polygons are selected, it's very difficult to see the boundary of each when you scroll over the results. Is there any way to make the way they flash or highlight more drastic when you mouse over a record? The selected parcels become slightly less transparent when the mouse is over a record, but it is not apparent enough.

I think I've exhausted my options with <simplefillsymbol> tags, but I do have Flash Builder - just don't know where to look for this in the uncompiled code.


If anyone could point me in the right direction or give me any ideas on how to achieve this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using the v2.5.3 Identify widget and Flex Viewer 2.5.


Thanks!
Kevin

Kevin,

   Sure just replace these two functions in your IdentifyWidget.mxml:

            private function mouseOverRecord(event:Event):void             {                 var gf:spark.filters.GlowFilter = new spark.filters.GlowFilter();                 gf.color = 0x00bff3;                 gf.alpha = 1;                 gf.strength = 2;                 gf.blurX = 8;                 gf.blurY = 8;                 var idResult:IdResult = ItemRenderer(event.target).data as IdResult;                 var iG:Number = (graphicsLayer.graphicProvider as ArrayCollection).getItemIndex(idResult.graphic);                 (graphicsLayer.graphicProvider as ArrayCollection).getItemAt(iG).filters = [gf];                 clearTimeout(hitimer);                 if (map.extent.containsXY(idResult.point.x, idResult.point.y))                     if(enableMoverRec)                         hitimer = setTimeout(showHighlight, 300, [idResult]);                 else                     hideInfoWindow();             }                          private function mouseOutRecord(event:Event):void             {                 var idResult:IdResult = ItemRenderer(event.target).data as IdResult;                 var iG:Number = (graphicsLayer.graphicProvider as ArrayCollection).getItemIndex(idResult.graphic);                 (graphicsLayer.graphicProvider as ArrayCollection).getItemAt(iG).filters = [];                 hideInfoWindow();                 clearSelectedGrapics(null);             }
