Identify Features Sample - How to resize window and add url

SteveFowler — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 10:42:51 GMT

I'm utlizing the Identify Features source code from the Samples section for my Flex app and it is working fine. However; I need to be able to adjust the Info window width so it shows all of my data. In addition, I have a url link in my attributes table that I want a customer to have access to. So.. I have two questions:

1. How do I resize the info window?
2. How do I make the url in the info window accessible?

Here is the source code from the ESRI Flex Sample code I am using:

To add in the url, try this code by Robert Scheitlin. Here's how I use it in one of my applications.

Does anyone have an answer to the resizing question?

I'm in the same boat, and brand new to Flex. The generic InfoSymbol that runs on my Identify Widget is not wide enough to accomodate addresses without cutting them off or scrolling and I want to make it wide enough to show the whole thing.

Ron,

A year latter but here is a thread where I show someone else how to do this:
