Layers not showing

Question

Hi,
I have recently downloaded the Flex Viewer and cannot get different layers from my ArcGIS service to show in the viewer. The only way that I can view a layer is if it is the only layer in the service. If I add /2 or /3 under the operational layer tag, none of these layers are shown in the map, even though they are available to turn on under the "more" option.

Thanks, using visiblelayers fixed the problem.

Hi, If I specify the URL as /Mapserver in the <operationallayers> all the layers in service show on the map.  How would I turn individual layers on and off?

For more details on what Robert is talking about, see:

Note that the visiblelayers attribute will only work for a dynamic, WMS, or arcims map service type.

Shaun,

You can use the more button on the map switcher widget or the layerlist widget if you are talking about run time changes if you want to set the visible layers in code then you would use visibleLayers property.
