Geocoder - render a point on the map once result is selected

KarlBarker-Ottley

Hi,

I'm trying to get a graphic to render once a result has been selected from the new geocoder functionality in the latest Flex API. When the result is selected, the map pans to it's location - I would like to have a point shown where this is?

Any help scripting this would be appreciated.

Thanks, Karl

For new geocoder component, you must listen its events, to access results.
