EditTool not activating

SachaTousignant — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:25:54 GMT

Hello,

I've been working on my problem for hours now and I'm still not able to get my edit tool to activate itself.

I have looked at the sample http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#//01nq00000043000000 and it really helped me for my project.
I'm currently doing my own editor and I'm at the part where I want to activate the edit tool when I click on a graphic to be able to move it. I use only point.

Here's some code :

protected function layer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void    {     customDraw.deactivate();          //if (!drawingComplete) //just selection     //{      if (event.target is Graphic || event.target.parent is Graphic)      {       if (selectedGraphic != null)       {        (selectedGraphic.parent as FeatureLayer).applyEdits(null, [ selectedGraphic ], null);       }       if (event.target is Graphic)       {        selectedGraphic = Graphic(event.target);       }       else if (event.target.parent is Graphic)       {        selectedGraphic = Graphic(event.target.parent);       }       editTool.activate(EditTool.MOVE, [ selectedGraphic ]);       map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, map_mapClickHandler);                  }

I know that normally, when the edit tool activates itself, the cursor changes from the pan (white glove) to a the one by default (white arrow) and when you mouseOver the selected graphic, the cursor changes to a cross, but it's not my case, nothing happens, the pan stays and I can't move the graphic.

My edit tool :

  <esri:EditTool id="editTool"         graphicsMoveStop="editTool_graphicsMoveHandler(event)"          map="{map}"/>

Let me know if you guys need more code or info!

Thx alot!

Quick update, the drawtool isn't activating either. I tried to make a new flex application with this sample : http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#//01nq0000002z000000

Everything worked fine, I grabbed it and put it in my widget and when I press the buttons, the drawtool isn't activating even tho, the code pass by.

Can someone from Esri help me with this?

Sacha,

Could you provide the code, would be easier to debug.

Sacha,

I found out what was wrong, I think it might be a bug...

Works :
customEdit.map = map;

Does not :
<esri:EditTool id="customEdit"
map="{map}"/>
