Preventing applyEdits() after edition using Editor

ab1 — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:22:12 GMT

Hi,

I have a feature layer whose geometry is manually edited by the user, using the Editor object.
I'd like to prevent the Editor from calling the applyEdits() method, after a feature geometry is edited by the user.
I want to give to the user the option of applying his edits by clicking on a button.

Is it possible to prevent the Editor from calling applyEdits() method?

Regards.

I found a way to prevent applyedits from being called.
I added to the feature layer a listener on the editsStarting event (a FeatureLayerEvent). When the event is fired, I call the preventDefault() method which prevents applyEdits().
But before that I need to recover all the updates that were performed by the user. So I created a FeatureLayerEvent (named myEvent), pointing on my feature layer, and in which I store all the updates of the fired event:

protected function featureLayer_editsStarting(event:FeatureLayerEvent):void
   {
    for(var i:uint; i<event.updates.length; i++)
    {
     myEvent.updates.push(event.updates);   
    }
    event.preventDefault(); 
   }

Then when the user clicks on the appropriate button, applyEdits method is called:

protected function validerIti_clickHandler():void
   {
    myEvent.featureLayer.applyEdits(null, myEvent.updates, null);
    myEvent.updates = [];
                        }

The problem is that when the user clicks on the button to launch applyEdits, the application crashes and the flash editor with it.

Hi,

Can you tell me how to create the myEvent event?

Thank you, this is great!
