Hello, Does anyone know of a way to export all the choices available for an attribute table field pick list? For example: if I had a field named "Street Type" and it gave the user choices of Street, Ave, Blvd, etc. for them to choose, is there anyway for me to export out all the available choices into a list (regardless of if there is any actually in use in the GDB)? Thank you for any help. ... View more

Inside a Web Application built using ArcGIS server, the creator has the ability to turn on seemless panning, allowing for the map to redraw as soon as the user starts to pan.  Does anybody know a way to implement this using a dynamic map service and the Flex Viewer?  I realize setting up caching map tiles is an option, but that is something time will not allow for right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated -Paul ... View more

Using the iPad ArcGIS app, updated to iOS 5 a new problem has come up. I have a map comprised off only my map services, in which i have a group of layers called "Environmental". The group is turned on but none of the layers inside of it are turned on. When the map first loads, every layer in that group turns on, causing problems obviously. They go away when I turn the group off however (even though individually they all say they are off). Anyone know whats causing this? This didn't happen with iOS 4, and isn't a problem on the arcgis.com viewer Thanks -Paul ... View more

For our new flex viewer (2.4) I have 6 sets of aerial photos, 3 of which have coordinate systems defined and 3 which are undefined (according to "properties->source" in the MXD).  In the MXD all 6 sets of aerial photos show up when turned on (i assume because the catalog's .dbf file provide the coordinates for the images geographical location).  When I create a service of the map those 3 image catalogs that have the "undefined" coordinate systems don't show up in the flex viewer.  I have no idea why they wouldn't be projected on the fly or put in the right location as per the .dbf's coordinates.  Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you -Paul ... View more

Thanks to flex viewer 2.4 and Robert Scheitlin's enhanced search widget, it is now possible to pass a search element via the URL and have the map zoom down to the findings.  However, in my case, I am using that functionality to locate parcels.  It works great, except I don't have the parcel layer set to turn on once i zoom to a certain level.  I realize that is an easy fix to this problem, but I would rather have the URL turn the layer on. So, in short: Does anybody know of a way to turn layers on via a URL parameter? Thanks, -Paul ... View more

When my viewer first loads, its set to an initial extent of our county.  The problem I'm having is that the image quality of this entire county view is horrible.  There is a lot of pixelation and zags in the polylines...nothing is smooth.  I have included 2 screenshots attached to this post, if anyone could tell me how to make the image quality better it would be much appreciated. -Paul ...

Does anyone know of a way to allow a user to be able to zoom down further?  The default zoom extents are certainly far enough for zooming out, but when zooming in you can only go as far as making ESRI's street basemap layer dissapear.  I have a web service running on a flex viewer that deals with villages that have very small parcels, its frustrating to not be able to zoom in close enough to them.  In short, does anybody know a way to allow a user to zoom in further? Thank you -Paul ... View more

Does anybody know how to step by step predict where the flood waters will go given a certain rise in the water body's height?  I have the water body, a DEM, just no idea how to combine all this information.  I can't figure out a way to tell the program the river will be rising.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Paul ...

I downloaded the Sample flex viewer code and altered it all according to my map service, the identify widget will not work, even though my config.xml code is mapped to my service AND the map service clearly says the identify operation is supported.  Any suggestions? ... View more

Is there any reason for a map service (added into the live maps on the sample flex viewer) to appear and disappear when it wants to?  I turn it on and sometimes it appears and some times it doesn't.  If it does appear after awhile it will disappear.  Also, when it is there, if you go to turn on any of the other layers inside the map service they won't show up.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Paul ...
