literal variables in viewer.xml

DebbieAlger — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:44:34 GMT

I am using an xml file of multiple languages, but don't know how to access them for the <menus> tag items, such as "Navigation" and "Markup and Printing" shown below..

<menus>
   <menu id="menuNavigation" visible="true" icon="com/esri/solutions/flexviewer/assets/images/icons/i_globe.png">Navigation</menu>
   <menu id="menuTasks"   visible="true" icon="com/esri/solutions/flexviewer/assets/images/icons/i_servicearea.png">Markup and Printing</menu>
    </menus>

I got is ok for the widget labels...
   <widget label="#!LayerListWidget_Label"         menu="menuMap"        config="virtual://config/LayerListWidget.xml"         icon="assets/images/i_layers.png" >com/geocortex/essentials/viewer/widgets/layerlist/LayerListWidget.swf</widget>

thanks,

Debbie,

Your question is a little cryptic... Are you saying you need help with code for reading an xml file in actionscript, or what?

Debbie, which version of flex viewer are you working with here? It's sort of looks like the old Sample Flex Viewer which wouldn't be directly compatible with ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.x...

I did figure it out myself, pretty obvious really.

put in the variable WITHOUT quotes .. #!Label_Name

and I am using Flex 2.3.1 so the code I have is compatible.

thanks anyway
