PictureMarkerSymbol Not displayed

ShaningYu — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:19:48 GMT

I tried to use PictureMarkerSymbol for some customized points. However, no marker is displayed. The code for the PictureMarkerSymbol is below:

public var pointSym_Peolpe0:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol(
"@Embed(source='com/esri/solutions/flexviewer/assets/images/icons/Icon2/People_0.png' )", 5, 5, 0, 0, 0);

The path is right.
Is anything incorrect? Thanks for your reviewing and providing your hint.

Have you confirmed the XY by testing using a SimpleMarkerSymbol(..) ? This will ensure the XY are correct and in the correct coordinate system.

It may be the issue. Could you advise how to confirm XY?
Before I used PictureMarkerSymbol, I used SimpleMarkerSymbol that worked fine.
Thanks.

Well it sounds like your XY is okay..
I am not using the ESRI Flex Viewer so I can not confirm your path, but usually Flex Builder will yell at you if your Embedded path is incorrect.. Do you see any warnings or get a Build error ?

Here are a few things I would try...

- Confirm the path.
- Test it without embedding the image
- Make sure the width and height of the image are as you defined in the constructor...
- Find a sample in the ESRI Flex Viewer source code and use that to confirm it works..

Drew:
No warning is received for the path. I tested without embedding image using a SimpleMarkerSymbol and it works well. I will test again. Thanks for your time.

Try embedding the image outside of the constructor..
I know it maybe a silly thing to try, but it�??s worth a shot..
Here is some sample of the code�?�.

[Bindable]
[@Embed(source='../assets/images/myImage.png')]
private var myImage:Class;

private function XYZ():void
{

var pictureMarker:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol(myImage,16,16);
..
..
..

}
