unable to get my tiled layers to show in flex, but dynamic ones work

karldailey

I have been fussing back and forth, and I dont know what I am missing.  I can view ESRI tiled and dynamic map layers fine.  I can view my own dynamic layers fine on my arcserver, but when I try tiled map layers it doesnt work.

this is an example I am trying to test:
http://musa.cml.upenn.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/States/MapServer

my code in flex looks like this:
<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer id="testMap" alpha="1" visible="true" url="http://musa.cml.upenn.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/States/MapServer"/>

the steps that I create the service are
- in arcgis server manager, i click pulibhsh a GIS resource
- i choose the mxd file i created click next - next - finish (kind of sucks that i cant configure the service properties b4 publishing it)
- i then click on my service, go to the caching tab and select 'Using tiles from cash that you will define bellow)
- i leave the tile format at png, change height/width to 256/256 with 96 DPI
- i click 'suggest' for scales and i put in 20
- i check 'create times on demand
- i leave checked 'allow clients to cache tiles locally
- i leave checked use local cache directory when generating tiles on the server

i also tried caching tiles in arccatalog to no avail.  shouldnt it create the tiles as needed?

and yes, i have a crossdomain.xml file thats been working.  I only have issues with tiled map services

What is the SpatialReference of your map?

Since tiles are not projected on the fly, you will need to make sure your Map is in the same spatial reference as your tiled service. I'm guessing that you are using a Map (or basemap) that's in a WebMercator or geographic, while your tiled service is in a different spatial reference...
