Enforcing disclaimer acceptance

JamesOBrien — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 05:27:45 GMT

Hello all,

I'm creating a Flex application and would like to place a disclaimer at the front of it.

I have developed a custom widget which opens when the applicaiton starts.

The problem is that the map is that the map can still be navigated without clicking the 'accept' button on the widget.
I noticed the Map.mapNavigationEnabled property but cannot figure out how to use it.
Has anyone tried this before?

SFV 1.3 or 2.0? Or custom made?

What about the Splash Widget? Is that what you are looking for?

Hi Bjorn

from where you call the splash widget..

I tried to call it from the config.xml and it did not work.

In the beta this is not configurable. We're planning to improve this for version 2.1 of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

Why I can not use Firefox to post on this forum? (thats one of the reason i use flex and not JS)..

I use Firefox 3 without any problems on this forum. If it doesn't work for you, please report it at http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/81-Resource-Center-Site-Feedback

Bjorn,

I could show the splash window in the start of the Flexviewer loading with edits in the xml file with my own contentents, but later clicking on the "About" text on the right of the title bar still brings the ESRI's splash window. How and where I make changes to associate my own flash window with "About"?

I do not see any reference in the Config.xml or widget's xml files. I will appreciate your help in this regard.

Bjorn,

Never mind. I have found out that this change has to be made in HeaderControler Widget.
