Problem on using own locator service for geocoder

MayJeff

Did anyone use thier own locator service for geocoder? I try to modify the sample here :http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/82293-Geocoder-render-a-point-on-the-map-once-result-is-selected?highlight=geocoder and add my own locator service but it didn't display auto-complete results and won't zoom to the location either. 

Here is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"
      pageTitle="Geocoder Component Sample">
<fx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   import com.esri.ags.Graphic;
   import com.esri.ags.events.GeocoderEvent;
   import com.esri.ags.geometry.Geometry;
   import com.esri.ags.symbols.SimpleFillSymbol;
   import com.esri.ags.symbols.SimpleMarkerSymbol;
   import com.esri.ags.symbols.Symbol;
  
   import mx.controls.Alert;
   import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
  
   protected function onGeocoderResultSelected(event:GeocoderEvent):void
   {
    var symbol:Symbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, 24, 0xFF0000);
    var gr:Graphic = new Graphic(event.result.geometry, symbol);
    gr.toolTip = event.result.label + "\n(" + event.result.sourceName + ")";
    gLayer.clear();
    gLayer.add(gr);
   }
  
   protected function onGeocoderFault(event:FaultEvent):void
   {
    Alert.show(event.message.toString(), "Geocoder fault");
   }
  
   protected function onGeocoderSearchComplete(event:GeocoderEvent):void
   {
    // do something
   }
  
  ]]>
</fx:Script>

<esri:Map id="map">
  <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="http://{url}/ArcGIS/rest/services/test/Internet/MapServer"/>
  <esri:GraphicsLayer id="gLayer" />
</esri:Map>

<esri:Geocoder width="300" height="30" url="http://{url}/ArcGIS/rest/services/test/addrPoint/GeocodeServer" autoComplete="true" proxyURL="http://{url}/proxy/proxy.ashx"
       top="20" minCharacters="3"

       map="{map}"
       resultSelected="onGeocoderResultSelected(event)"

       searchComplete="onGeocoderSearchComplete(event)" />
</s:Application>

Thank you.

...my own locator service but it didn't display auto-complete results and won't zoom to the location either. 

To enable autoComplete, you need to turn on the autoComplete property.
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/components/Geocoder.html#autoComplete

The zoom to location only works if the geocode service returns something similar to an extent that can be used for the zoom. For example, the esri-provided locator returns Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax fields in geographics coordinates that the geocoder can then use to zoom with.
