InfoWindow Flickering

CaseyBentz — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 20:21:14 GMT

I am having trouble with the InfoWindow flickering while mousing over some features. A simple example can be found by going to the InfoWindow on MouseOver sample, https://developers.arcgis.com/flex/sample-code/infowindow-on-mouseover.htm. Look for the county of Willimasburg. Mouse in from the east, and it works as expected. Mouse in from the south, specifically Berkeley or Clarendon County, and you will see a seizure inducing flicker of the InfoWindow. It is weird behavior to say the least. I saw some posts on this from 2011, but there was no resolution posted. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I sure would be happy.

Try using this to prevent the infinite flicker loop:

myMap.infoWindow.show(myMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX + 2, event.stageY + 2));

Thanks Dasa, that worked. Now I have a problem with having a mouse click listener for a polygon graphic and not being able to pan when I click and drag when I start my click on one of the graphics.

See the Graphic.checkForMouseListeners property:
