info window for map

abukhan — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:59:22 GMT

I used infowindow for information of a feature layer on click event.
The way i implemented is onMouseUp event on map:

private const infowindowscreen:mxmlpage = new mxmlpage ();

private function onMouseUpMap(event:MouseEvent):void
{
const mapPoint:MapPoint = MainMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX,event.stageY);

Map.infowindow.content = infowindowscreen;
---code to add values to all public variables on infowindowscreen--
Map.infowindow.show(mapPoint);

}

It works fine.. however the infoscreen sometimes go beyond the screen especially close to the edges.
Is there a way automatically center it on the screen?

Have you changed the infoPlacementMode style? It defaults to "auto":

Dasa:

for Map.infoWindow, infoPlacementMode is in styles..I did not change any default settings for infoWindow.
Is there any example showing infoPlacementMode with styles?

What I wanted to have infoWindow to show not beyond the screen...

Thanks.

In the default "auto" mode it should be trying to stay on screen. Can you reproduce it on this sample?
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=FeatureLayer_Click_OnDemand
When I click on the right, it comes up on the left and the opposite on the left side of the map. When I pan and move it near an edge, it repositions to try and stay in view.

Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing in your app?

Desa:

it looked like my info window is big and because of that it got cut out..

However i tried with a popup window and put a marker where it clicked, and then center the map at the point i clicked...It worked fine...

Thanks..
