Right I thought I had this cracked but apparently not! I sometimes get one of these two errors or both 1. 'esri.bundle.widgets' is null or not an object 2. 'wkid' is null or not an object Below is my current implementation of the OverView widget. Anything I'm doing wrong? dojo.connect(this.GISmap, 'onLayerAdd', jQuery.proxy(function() {             this.afterLoad();         }, this)); afterLoad: function() { var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({ map: this.GISmap, baseLayer: layer, visible: false, attachTo: "top-right", expandFactor: 2.5 }); overviewMapDijit.startup(); } I have tried other approaches including the two below but the above errors keep coming up. Any pointers please? afterLoad: function() { if (this.GISmap.loaded) { var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({ map: this.GISmap, baseLayer: layer, visible: false, attachTo: "top-right", expandFactor: 2.5 }); overviewMapDijit.startup(); } else{ //nothing. } } This other approach just gives errors usual errors (but works in a simple map app!!) if (this.GISmap.loaded) {                    var createOverviewMap = function() {                    overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({                        map: this.GISmap,                        baseLayer: layer,                        visible: false,                        attachTo: "top-right",                        color: "#D84E13",                        width: 300,                        height: 250,                        expandFactor: 2                        });                        overviewMapDijit.startup();                        dojo.style(dojo.byId("status"), "display", "none");                    };                    if (layer.loaded) {                        createOverviewMap();                    }                    else {                        dojo.connect(layer, "onLoad", createOverviewMap);                    }                } Also See http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/31709-Effectively-adding-baseLayer-to-OverView-Map?highlight=overview+map ...

Hi Folks, I have successfully implemented the overview widget, all works great. The only snag is my main map (used in map:map) is a tiled service starting at a particular scale to the lowest zoom level. And I have a dynamic map which shows on the start of the app and hides at the scale where the tiled map kicks in. Now by default the overview widget uses the first map "layer" (in my case the tiled map) if no baseLayer parameters are provide - that works fine. Now I want to define a baseLayer such that there're quite literally two maps (the tiles and the  dynamic) for the overview widget. From the documentations that I have seen, you could do this by simply going var layer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer") then setting baseLayer:layer This sometimes works, sometime I get the following error 'wkid' is null or not an object This I think have something to do with the layer definition for the baseLayer. Can anyone shed more light on this? Thanks. below is a section of what I have. dojo.connect(this.GISmap, 'onLayerAdd', jQuery.proxy(function() {                            this.afterLoad();             dojo.connect(dijit.byId("Map_Div"), 'resize', jQuery.proxy(this.resizeMap, this));         }, this)); afterLoad: function() { var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({     map: this.GISmap,     baseLayer: layer,         visible: false,         attachTo: "top-right",         expandFactor: 2.5     });     overviewMapDijit.startup(); } ...

Hi Flex folks, Wondering if any one could give me pointers on how to set up and run the Amethyst plug in for Visual Studio 2008. I think I've done all there is to do, got the intellisense and all and all coming through OK but can't seem to get the map to display, I'm getting 2 types of errors 1. saying the project is out of date 2. the errors below... User exception thrown (VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.controls.sliderClasses::Slider could not be found. at com.esri.ags::Map() at FlexApplicationThree/_FlexApplicationThree_Map1_i() at FlexApplicationThree/_FlexApplicationThree_Array1_c() ....and more Any help given would be very much appreciated. dON ...

Hi Guys, I have a secure service and using the proxy pages suggested here http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2396&t=297001 All works OK for the unsecured services on the server I'm trying to access But falls apart when I try access the secured services. I'm getting {"error":{"code":400,"message":"","details":["Unauthorized access"]}} Is there any configuration step I'm missing? This is really daft 'cos it worked well when we last used it for printing... I've placed these esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "proxy.ashx"; esri.config.defaults.io.alwaysUseProxy = true; in my init () and in the proxy I have <serverUrl url="http://MYSERVER/ArcGIS/rest/services/Secure/MYSERVICE/MapServer"                matchAll="false"                dynamicToken="true"                host="gis.MyCOMPANY.org.YYY" //**had http here but no joy                userName="someName"                password="somePassword"></serverUrl> Anything I'm missing?
