MikeVolz

Is it possible to change the size of the compiled overview map widget in the Flex Viewer application?

Here's your requested widget. I created a version for both V3.0 and V3.1

Thanks for the explanation.

Do you know where I would find the original source code for the OverViewMap widget that is part of the out-of-the-box build?

Sure, right here:

Thanks again for the uncompiled code.

I was reviewing the code and I do not understand how the .mxml file knows how to retrieve the data from the .xml file.

if (configXML)
                {
                    overviewMap.configXML = configXML;
                }

This seems like where the mxml file is trying to access the xml, but how does it know to look for OverviewMapWidget.xml if it is not explicitly passed in the variable configXML?

I actually used to wonder the same thing a while back.
That is part of Esri's Flex API. The joy of using good API's is they basically do the work for you. For each widget, it looks for a .xml that is designated in the config.xml. You pass the variables just using the identifier *.configXML

Is there any chance you can add the uncompiled code to the page where the compiled code is located?

Here is the uncompiled code:
https://github.com/GISDev01/OverviewMapWidgetCustomSize

If you make further modifications, I just ask that you share the changes with everyone if possible.

MikeVolz

How would I access this location to download the uncompiled code?

GISDev1

Thank you very much GISDev01 for this useful enhancement.

I plan to add it to my github account soon. Same username on there.

Working on it.

MikeVolz

Very odd that the Spark Border Container does not like having a bindable Number as width and height.

Does this mean that the width and height of this widget can not be set as configurable variables in the xml file?

GISDev1

Still working on this for you. Very odd that the Spark Border Container does not like having a bindable Number as width and height.

Are you using Flex API V3.1 and Flex SDK 4.6?

I am mostly using Flex Viewer 3.0 (built on Flex API V3.0) and I have done some preliminary testing with Flex Viewer 3.1 (built on Flex API V3.1), but I have not made any code modifications as I do not have access to Flex SDK. This is why I was looking for a compiled OverView Map Widget where you could change the size of the widget from the xml file.

A version built on Flex API V3.0 would be more useful at the present time (more applications presently built on this platform), but if it is easier to modify this widget from build on Flex API V3.1 then that would work for me as well.

GISDev1

Could you add the size of the widget as a configurable variable in the xml file and then send that recompiled swf file along with the xml showing the syntax for changing the size in the xml file? That would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you know how to make this a configurable variable that could be changed in the xml file so it would not need to be recomplied every time you need to change its size, possibly for different applications?

Yes, I know how to do that.

Looks to me like the size is declared in the OverviewMapComponent.mxml around line 605.

<s:BorderContainer id="viewBox"
                       width="250" width.collapsed="{toggleIcon.width}" height="250" height.collapsed="{toggleIcon.height}"
                       backgroundAlpha="1.0">
        <esri:Map id="overviewMap"
                  width="250" height="250"

I could switch it and re-compile a .swf for you if you don't have FB.
