SFV: Chart Widget - Make Layer Visible when widget is activated.

RichWestfall

Hello,

I am using the chart widget to serve up census information. I have the census block layer accessible to the SFV. I would like the census block layer to be visible when the chart widget is activated. When the chart widget is closed or minimized I would like the census block layer invisible.

Has anyone attempted something similiar? Any help would be appreciated.

richwestfall,

If the census block layer is in the map the you can just do something like
map.getLayer(yourName).visible = true;

With the chart widget, where would I put this in the mxml? I have tried under the widgetOpenHandler but had no success.

Robert,

Yes I have tried that and the error is need rightpar before dot. I have also tried the following attached code and don't get and error message it just hangs flex builder and will not compile the chart widget.

private function hideSubLayer (map.getLayer("Planning"),48):void
   {
    var visibleLayers:ArrayCollection;
    if (layer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer)
    {
     visibleLayers = ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(layer).visibleLayers;
     var idIndex:int = visibleLayers.getItemIndex(id);
     if (idIndex != -1)
     {
      visibleLayers.removeItemAt(idIndex);
     }
    }
   }
   
   private function showSubLayer (map.getLayer("Planning"),48):void
   {
    var visibleLayers:ArrayCollection;
    if (layer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer)
    {
     visibleLayers = ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(layer).visibleLayers;
     visibleLayers.addItem(id);
    }
   }

Rich,

Hmm. Have you tried something like

showSubLayer(map.getLayer("Planning"),48);

RichWestfall

Robert,

Thank you for this. I have been working with it but I'm unsure where to put the sublayer information the function is refering too. All avenues I have tried will either not get the function to work or not compile.

Rich,

Here is two function to use one for hiding the sublayer one for showing

private hideSubLayer(layer:Layer,id:int):void
   {
    var visibleLayers:ArrayCollection;
    if (layer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer)
    {
     visibleLayers = ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(layer).visibleLayers;
     var idIndex:int = visibleLayers.getItemIndex(id);
     if (idIndex != -1)
     {
      visibleLayers.removeItemAt(idIndex);
     }
    }
   }
   
   private showSubLayer(layer:Layer,id:int):void
   {
    var visibleLayers:ArrayCollection;
    if (layer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer)
    {
     visibleLayers = ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(layer).visibleLayers;
     visibleLayers.addItem(id);
    }
   }

Robert,

Yes it is a grouped layer in a large service. Attached is a pdf showing the location. It is layer id 48.

Rich,

Is the layer that you are trying to make visible a sublayer of a map service? If so that requires some more code.

RichWestfall

Robert,

I appreciate the help. I have tried entering the code in the chart widget in the openhandler/closedhandler to no avail. Is there another section I should try this in?

Thanks for your help.

map.getLayer(yourName).visible = true;
