Map Service Questions

Disclaimer: Newbie to this here...

So I created a map service and a non-editable feature service for a feature class. I made the feature service to use in the mobile application so people can easily identify the parcel. But now, in my flex viewer, when you click on the parcel, not only do you get the information, you also get it looking like you can edit the parcel. It shows all the verticies and you can move it around, but when you click on another parcel it goes back to place. What do I need to do, so that people can identify the parcel but it won't look like its editable. I just don't want people to be confused. Here is the line of code I have in the operational layers.

<layer label="Blaine County Parcels" type="dynamic" visible="true"
url = "http://maps.co.blaine.id.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/ChrisWebMaps/AddressParcel/MapServer" />

I just noticed it only does this when the Edit Widget it open. And when it is closed, then you do not get the attributes to open. I am guessing I need to use an identify widget.

Either way, My main concern here is, How do I stop the parcels from looking like they are editable, when using the Edit Widget?

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

The proper forum for Flex Viewer/Widget questions is the Flex Viewer forum here:

As far as answering your question you would need to exclude that layer from the edit widget:

Look for <excludelayer>

Thanks Robert!

Looking over your Identify Widget now... Good work.
Now if I can get it to work.
