InfoWindow As MapTips

CynthiaMatney — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:53:03 GMT

Hello. I'm new to Flex and trying to use the Flex Sample "InfoWindow as MapTips". I want to be able to roll over parcels and info about each parcel show up (w/o clicking). On the sample there are two tabs of .mxml. The first one says to include the com/esri/ags/samples/InfoWindowRollOverContent.mxml

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html

My question is - where do I put that information?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Cynthia

The com/esri/ags/samples folder structure goes in your project's src folder. See the folder structure under "samples" when you unzip the API download.

So I come up with this error:
"The prefix "samples" for element "samples:InfoWindowRollOverContent" is not bound".

I don't know what that means.

It's referring to this particular line of code:
<samples:InfoWindowRollOverContenct id="content"/>

What am I doing wrong now?

Thanks!

See this line at the top of the sample:
xmlns:samples="com.esri.ags.samples.*"

I actually had that part added at one time - but must have taken it out. So now that error is gone but now I'm getting this error:

"1046 : Type was not found or was nota compile-time constant:InfoWindowRollOverContent"

This is once again referring to the following code:

<samples:InfoWindowRollOverContent id="content"/>
