Simple question: Adding a MapService in the API

HannesRömer — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:22:42 GMT

Hello!
Sorry for my beginner question: After I successfully could open and compile the samples via Flash Builder, I would like to add an own map service that I created with ArcGIS Server for a web application. When compiling my application I don't see anything. What went wrong?

In Flash Builder I wrote:
<<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"
      pageTitle="Using ArcGISImageServiceLayer">

<esri:Map>
<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer url="http://columbus/ArcGIS/rest/services/vabene_temp/GIS_Flex_Parkraeume1/MapServer"/>
</esri:Map>

</s:Application>

This URL works when copying it in my webbrowser. I attached the contents of the webpage (txt) which I got when typing the url in the browser.
Maybe I have to define layers, because the service include three layers?!

Thank you 😞

Hannes

Hannes,

Try using this instead of ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer:

<esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="http://columbus/ArcGIS/rest/services/vabene_temp/GIS_Flex_Parkraeume1/MapServer">

Hannes,

So the reason that the first code you had didi not work is the fact that your map service is not cached. Only cached map services use the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer.
