By default the Scroller displays its scrollbars when they�??re needed�??when the viewport�??s content size is larger than its actual size. You can change this policy with the verticalScrollPolicy and horizontalScrollPolicy properties. The default value for these properties, auto, causes the scrollbars to display as needed. Set these properties to on to unconditionally display a scrollbar, and off to unconditionally hide a scrollbar. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex4_viewport_scrolling.html <s:Scroller horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="on" ...

Graham, This script would need to be run directly from a python ide. Idle, Aptana/PyDev, PyCharm, etc. If you just open the .py file in the ide you will see at the top a path to each piece you need to change. Change them and then hit run from the ide. If it works you will have shapefiles in the output directory. Currently C:\TEMP is the directory you will see them in. If you need more help just email me. alexander.t.jones at gmail.com Alex ...

Attached is a zip file with a basic conversion of M. Hoylands application as a flex widget. It has the previews and templates and is in flexviewer 2.x and the Alive PDF 0.1.5RC. You will need to adjust the pdf code, but most likely want to change the layout and functionality anyway . Although it does generate a pdf the measurements appear to be a bit off. So you will need to adjust the x and y or something. I apologize but I cant get into that part right now. I might be able to pick it up again towards the end of the week or next week. Add all of these files to to the widgets folder, change the config file, and add as a module to the project. Let me know if you have any questions, but try to post viewer questions in the Viewer forum ... View more

This is the Python script that I used to convert from the saved text/json to a shapefile. I never polished it up due to a lack of time. It should work as long as you change the path to the file name, the workspace and possibly the coordinate system. It would be very easy to convert from shp to sde if this portion works for you. Its not in .net so it may not be what you are looking for. ... View more

Are you trying to port this app as is to the newer version of AlivePDF or are you trying to use it in the viewer for flex? ... View more

This sample shows a better way to handle the events. It uses a Graphic event and should help you avoid any type coercion errors. protected function fLayer_graphicAddHandler(event:GraphicEvent):void    {     event.graphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClickHandler);    } <esri:FeatureLayer id="featureLayer"          clusterer="{clusterer}" graphicAdd="fLayer_graphicAddHandler(event)"          definitionExpression="POP1990 &gt; 75000"          mode="snapshot"          outFields="*"          symbol="{defaultsym}" the mouseClickHandler would be the same as above. ...

Not tested, but you should just be able to add a click event to the feature layer or another event listener on the map. Try it out. map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClickHandler);    private function mouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void    {     showInfoWindow(Graphic(event.target),event.stageX, event.stageY);               } or <esri:FeatureLayer id="featureLayer"          clusterer="{clusterer}"          definitionExpression="POP1990 &gt; 75000"          mode="snapshot"          outFields="*"          symbol="{defaultsym}" click="mouseClickHandler(event)" ... ...

Can you post the mxml for your HeaderController. Everything in the group tag. Did you change more than just that file? ... View more

You can add an href tag to hyperlink to the swf/html. This is assuming the swf would be its own application(have a unique URL). <a href="http://yoursite/swfpath/swffile.html" target='_blank'><font color="#FFFFFF"><b>Hey! view my swf page</b></font></a> I believe that captivate exports to a project and gives you the html if you want it. I could be wrong I only did the 30 day trial about year ago. If you want to embed it inside the splash page then look at Roberts code: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8492794bf5bf4358bca6cce29db31b14 He modifies the splash page which would be a good start and then you could use SWFloader inside the SplashTitleWindow. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/controls/SWFLoader.html <mx:SWFLoader id="swfload" source="assets/yourswf.swf"/> ...

I was able to write a simple python script to do this. I needed it quickly so I hard coded a bunch on "known" values. I am going to try and take some time this week to clean it up and post it. There is a nice built in json module in python and you can then use json.loads() ... View more

Cattyann,    Well... I got to say I was not expecting this one. Currently there is no way for you to do this, but if you send me the file I will see what I can do. Depending on how difficult it is I may add a shapefile export or just develop an ArcMap Addon for this. Robert, Did you ever make anything for this? An add on or export option? Maybe there is another solution for reading these in ArcMap. Any info would be appreciated . Thank you, Alex ... View more

I assume that there is an easier way than this; however, I did not have much luck. So, you can create a custom tooltip and use it. Just listen for your roll over/roll out and it will display. Using the sample code from the flex api samples page you can add this:    import mx.controls.ToolTip;                                  import mx.managers.ToolTipManager;       private  var customToolTip:ToolTip;       protected function map_loadHandler(event:MapEvent):void    {     //map.addEventListener(FlareMouseEvent.FLARE_CLICK, flareClickHandler);        map.addEventListener(FlareEvent.FLARE_IN_START, flareInStartHandler);        addEventListener(FlareMouseEvent.FLARE_OUT, rollOutHandler);     map.addEventListener(FlareMouseEvent.FLARE_OVER, rollOverHandler);        }    private function showCustomToolTip(gr:Graphic, stagex:Number, stagey:Number):void    {     customToolTip = ToolTipManager.createToolTip(gr.attributes.CITY_NAME,stagex,stagey) as ToolTip;        }    protected function rollOverHandler(event:FlareMouseEvent):void    {     removeEventListener(FlareMouseEvent.FLARE_OVER, rollOverHandler);     showCustomToolTip(event.graphic, event.stageX, event.stageY);        }    protected function rollOutHandler(event:FlareMouseEvent):void    {       ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(customToolTip);    } You will need to play around with the listeners if you want a roll over and click, but this might get you moving in the right direction. ...

Josh, What do you want a tooltip to show on?  Are you trying to get a tooltip on the main graphic? This would be the graphic that is showing the count... Please let me know. Alex ... View more

Have you considered using the native flex accordion? If you check out tour de flex there are also a couple of custom accordions that are written in mxml/actionscript that would be a lot easier to incorporate into the viewer. If you have the uncompiled code you can definitely add as you see fit. It will be hard to say exactly how without knowing what you are trying to accomplish. If you have not already check out the tour de flex for sample code. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex.html ... View more

Jay, Have you tried the out of the box viewer on your server? I am interested to see if the standard application is also slow to load in your env. On the same path are your widgets standard or customized? Same server? It might help narrow down if its services, server, custom code, etc. This would be in addition to Roberts idea of cutting it down to the core and building it back up. ... View more
