I am trying to replace the "attribute inspector outside of the map" flex sample with some local data. The parcels layer I want to add does not appear on the map. It works fine as a dynamic layer in another map I have. Perhaps I am not understanding how to create a feature layer based on a dynamic web service. This is possible, right? Here is what I've tried, just the map section of it: I am not sure what the definition expression does. Also, does outFields require the field name or field alias? I may just be not understanding how to make a feature layer. I didn't find this page particularly helpful. It has samples but does not give any step-by-step direction on how to correctly create a feature layer. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Feature Layer is not adding to map.

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/FeatureLayer.html#definitionExpression

...
The definition expression limits the FeatureLayer to a subset of the available features in the map service layer. It is similar to the definition query for a layer in ArcMap.
...

servise you are using has no "STATE_NAME" field

definitionExpression="STATE_NAME='North Carolina'" - never returns data
definitionExpression="OBJECTID<100" - returns features where OBJECTID smaller when 100

http://gis.chcity.org/CHwebMaps/rest/services/CityData/Parcels_SD/MapServer/0  Fields: OBJECTID (Type: esriFieldTypeOID, Alias: OBJECTID) Sidwell10 (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Sidwell10, Length: 10 ) Sidwell14 (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Sidwell14, Length: 14 ) tax_dist (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: tax_dist, Length: 3 ) Address (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Address, Length: 25 ) Acreage (Type: esriFieldTypeDouble, Alias: Acreage) Adjusted (Type: esriFieldTypeSmallInteger, Alias: Adjusted, Domain: Coded Values: [0: No], [1: Yes] ) Shape (Type: esriFieldTypeGeometry, Alias: Shape) own_name (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Owner Name, Length: 30 ) own_name_c (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Additional Owner Name, Length: 30 ) own_addr (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Owner Address, Length: 25 ) own_cityst (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Owner City/State, Length: 22 ) own_zip (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Owner Zip, Length: 5 ) own_zip_fo (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Owner Zip4, Length: 4 ) Shape_Area (Type: esriFieldTypeDouble, Alias: Area)

P.S. finally your question is not correct - feature layer is added, but it has no features in its graphicProvider, because you did not test def.query before use it

Service has some limits:

Min. Scale: 15000

Max. Scale: 0

May be you need to configure services before use it?

My sample works, because
1 - i know extent where features are
2 - map scale where features visible

API help. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/FeatureLayer.html#mode

Good luck.

Huh. Actually the way you put it (below) does work even though it has snapshot mode in it:

  <esri:FeatureLayer mode="snapshot"
         id="fLayer"
         graphicAdd="onGraphicAdd(event)"
         outFields="[Address,own_name,own_addr]"
         symbol="{normalSymbol}"
         url="http://gis.chcity.org/CHwebMaps/rest/services/CityData/Parcels_SD/MapServer/0" />

This is what I have, which works for me, UNLESS i add mode="snapshot" to it.

  <esri:FeatureLayer id="fLayer"
         definitionExpression="Acreage>=0"
         fault="fLayer_faultHandler(event)"
         graphicAdd="fLayer_graphicAddHandler(event)"
         outFields="[Address,own_name,own_addr]"
         symbol="{countySymbol}"
         url="http://gis.chcity.org/CHwebMaps/rest/services/CityData/Parcels_SD/MapServer/0"/>

I don't know why that is. ?

N_Young

Thanks. You are right about the definitionExpression being wrong because it was made for the counties layer. However, I had problems even when I removed the definitionExpression completely. I found out that the mode="snapshot" setting on my feature layer was causing problems. When I remove that and either fix or remove the definitionExpression, it works. Thank you!

Bob, thx - we noticed (it does not matter in this context).

We talk about FeatureLayer (not FeatureService) and its properties.

Yes you can create FeatureLayer based on MapService - http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=FeatureLayerBasedOnMapServerLayer

Not sure if you noticed this yet or not but you want to use FeatureServer, not MapServer in this context ...
