Overview Map in SFV1.3

MayJeff — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:58:30 GMT

I am using overview sample in the code gallery: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=15873
and able to put the oviewer map at lower right corner. I would like to click to show the overview map then click again to minimize it but I can't get the function to work. I used this also:
SiteContainer.getInstance().mapManager.ovCan.visible = true or false.

Please help.

Thank you.

May,

So based on your code you have the overviewmap called ovCan and it is a child of the mapmanager then?

You're right. I created it on MapManger.mxml. Now it shows a square box on lower right corner but I can't get it to show when user click it and then click again to hide the overview map.

public var ovCan:Canvas; is inside mx:script
then all the overview style, position, map services & etc is inside private function config ...

So is there posible to do it using SFV1.3? I would like to have the same way like new sameple website 2.0 (http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/live/index.html?config=config-edit.xml).

Please give me some ideas how to do so. I really appreciated that. Thank you.

May,

Here your updated MapManger.mxl and a new image that you need to paste in the src\com\esri\solutions\flexviewer\assets\images folder

How to show the overview map in full extent all the time and only change the extent box? Just like overview map at this site: http://gis.calhouncounty.org/flexviewer2.0/index.html?config=config-calhoun-classic.xml

I try it manyways but it doesn't work.

Thank you.

May,

Your OverviewWidget.xml needs to look like this:

<configuration>
    <mapservice type="dynamic" mode="static">http://yourserver/arcgis/rest/services/yourservice/MapServer</mapservice>
</configuration>

Actually I think I need to change something on MapManager.mxml in order to show the full extent everytime and you helped me to customize the overview map to show on the buttom right hand corner.

Thank you.
