adding footer to maps on 1.3 viewer

DanielLewis

I looked at the source to the 2.3 copyright widget by Robert Scheitlin and tried to make something similar for the 1.3 viewer, here's the source, which isn't working:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Display footer on maps
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-->

<BaseWidget xmlns    ="com.esri.solutions.flexviewer.*" 
      xmlns:mx   ="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
      x     ="600" 
      y     ="220" 
      widgetConfigLoaded ="init()">
     
 <mx:Script>
  
  <![CDATA[
   import com.esri.ags.events.ExtentEvent;
  
   import mx.controls.Alert;
   
   import com.esri.ags.Map;
   
   
   private function init():void
   {
    map.addEventListener(ExtentEvent.EXTENT_CHANGE, repositionInfo);
    txtVersion.text = "footer text";
   }
   
   
   private function repositionInfo(event:Event):void
   { 
    txtVersion.text = "footer text";
   }
  ]]>
 </mx:Script>
  
<mx:Label id="txtVersion" alpha="1" />
 
</BaseWidget>

And I added the following to the config.xml:
<widget right="95" bottom="3" url="com/xyz/widgets/footer/footer.swf"/>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I made some changes:

   private function init():void
   {
    const color:String = "0x000000";
    txtVersion.setStyle("color", toNumber(color.length ? color : "0x000000"));
    const fontFamily:String = "Verdana";
    txtVersion.setStyle("fontFamily", fontFamily.length ? fontFamily : "Verdana");
    const fontSize:String = configXML.label.@fontsize;
    txtVersion.setStyle("fontSize", parseInt(fontSize.length ? fontSize : "9"));
    const fontWeight:String = configXML.label.@fontweight;
    txtVersion.setStyle("fontWeight", fontWeight.length ? fontWeight : "bold");


    txtVersion.text = "Footer Text";
   }
   

   
   private function toNumber(value:String):int
   {
    if (value.substr(0, 2) == "0x")
    {
     return parseInt(value, 16);
    }
    return parseInt(value, 10);
   }

 </mx:Script>

<mx:Label id="txtVersion" alpha="1"   text="Footer Text" enabled="true"/>
 
</BaseWidget>

Apologies to Robert for obliterating his code, but trying to learn.

This DOES display the text, but on the dock and it can't be undocked.  Perhaps I'm approaching this wrong and shouldn't do it as a widget?  Could a change be made to mapmanager (assuming that's the right place) to add a footer to the display below the map being displayed, or overlay the bottom of the map being displayed?
