Geocode Address then Buffer

jaykapalczynski

I am trying to Geocode an Address then Buffer that address....from there I want to use that buffered graphic for further queries...

I can get the Geocode to work but stuck on getting the Buffer code to create the buffered graphic of which I need to use its geometry to run further queries..

Am I way off here?

// GEOCODER START===========================================================================================

var x = "";

var y = "";

  var geocoder = new Geocoder({

   arcgisGeocoder: {

  placeholder: "4010 West Broad St, RIchmond, Virginia"

   },

   autoComplete: true,

   map: app.map,

  }, dom.byId("search"));

  geocoder.startup();

    geocoder.on("select", showLocation);

    geocoder.on("clear", removeSpotlight);

        function showLocation(evt) {

          //app.map.graphics.clear();

          var point = evt.result.feature.geometry;

          var graphic = new Graphic(point, symbol);

This is the code...

1. Geocoder
2. Then Draw Buffer around Gocoded Result
3. Then Query 1 Features and return their respective Geometry

// GEOCODER START =================================================================
