Polygon help!

LeesaJones

Hi, new esri developer here, need some help implementing a feature. I want to only display a map inside a given polygon and not allow map clicks or display of map data outside this polygon. Any ideas?

Thank you Robert - I will give that a try and let you know. I am really greatful for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

vjones,

Well you can do it that way you would probably just need to ensure that the polygon graphic does not have an outline specified in the symbology. You would be better served by removing this action from the client and just merge the polygons in ArcMap and serve up a new layer in a map service that has this don already, if the data is not dynamic.

LeesaJones

No, actually I was doing it in mxml by querying the cached map server for the selected features I wanted and taking the feature set that was returned and adding each feature ring that was returned to the polygon.

Let me know if you wish for me to post the code.

vjones,

Have you merged the polygons in ArcMap?

LeesaJones

Thank you for your prompt reply - looks like I will have to settle with highlighting the polygon. One more question - Is there a correct way to combine polygons where it ends up looking like one continuous polygon instead of broken when there is a river or a rail road?

vjones,

Seems like that was discussed with Mansour and there was not a good way to do it. (Mansour is one of the main core developers of the AGS Flex API).

vJones,

Only my county displays because I am using my map services not esri's and I don't have any other data than my county in those map services.

Ohhhh - that explains why its so perfect.

Do you know of a way where I can combine several polygons and grey out everything outside of the resultant polygon?

LeesaJones

Let me add a little detail of what I have tried so far.

First of all the polygon is derived from several other polygon and merged together to make one polygon. With this approach I am not quite there because the resultant polygon does not encompass all the features in the area... I can work on resolving that later.

I am able to shade the resultant polygon - thats a good thing, however I want the opposite. I would like to shade everything but the resultant polygon.

Will I have to create work outside of flex to accomplish this or is this something I can acomplish within flex.

Also note I am not using flex viewer.

Any help you provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Robert - this is almost there and part of what I want to do. The other part is I would like to display only the polygon like you do on your site where you display only Calhoun County.

vjones,

This is definitely not going to be a cake walk especially for a flex beginner but here is a link to what I think you are after.
