Combing operational layers from two web maps into one Flex Viewer Application

Question

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if its possible to take web map #1 and web map #2 (made public from my content in ArcGIS Online, with their web keys) and combine them into one Flex Viewer application?

In other words, I want to take the configured operational layers from map #1 and map #2 and put them together.

This will help me to cut down on redundancy. I have over 10 maps with several layers (sometimes 20+) each - and I want to be able to mix-n-match all of the maps (keeping the same layers) without having to completely re-add the layers for each map combination.

Does this make sense? Let me know if I need to explain further.

Thanks for any advice,

Rachel

The Flex Viewer only accepts one web map, so "no" you cannot use two web map directly.
Some alternatives:
* Create a new web map 🙂
* Convert the web maps to operational layers.  There's a handy utility, Web Map Converter, for that at: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Helper_applications/01m30000002m000000/
* Write custom flex viewer code to convert both web maps on the fly.
