Wonderful new!!

Where can I download the viewer 2.4???

I have looked everywhere or do I just download the 2.4 API?

Thanks,

Go to the resource center at http://links.esri.com/flexviewer, click the "Download Viewer" link on the right side of the page (under Quick Links).

I am unable to see the real application it gives me lot of errors. Flex builder launch failed is the error that I am getting also

Description Resource Path Location Type
Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation. WebMap.mxml /flexapi2.4devver/src line 5 Flex Problem
Please help

I'm receiving lots of errors (28 of them) when trying to create a new app based on the 2.4 source code:
-Description Resource Path Location Type
1120: Access of undefined property layoutDirection. WidgetTemplateSkin.mxml /FlexViewer/src/com/esri/viewer/skins line 42 Flex Problem

Plus more like this:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Cannot resolve attribute 'layoutDirection' for component type com.esri.viewer.BaseWidget. OverviewMapWidget.mxml /FlexViewer/src/widgets/OverviewMap line 21 Flex Problem

The error above applies to OverviewMapWidget, WidgetContainer, MapManagerSkin, and NavigationWidget

To create the errors I did the following:
1. Created new directory
2. Restarted Flash Builder using the new directory as my project directory
3. Imported src from 2.4 viewer directly from the .zip file using the "File --> Import Flex Project" menu option
4. Project attempts to compile then returns the errors

Cannot resolve attribute 'layoutDirection' for ...

Christopher, it looks like you are compiling with Adobe Flex 4.0 SDK. Starting with version 2.4 you need to use version 4.1 or higher.

From the What's New in 2.4 Viewer (under "General Changes"):

Compiling the source code [for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex] requires Adobe Flex 4.1 or above. This is to support Arabic and other right-to-left locales. Note that the API itself still works with 4.0, 4.1 as well as 4.5.

It's also mentioned briefly in the "Upgrading your viewer Code":

In version 2.4 of the Viewer, Adobe Flex 4.1 SDK is the minimum SDK version to compile with.

Thanks, Bjorn. I'm definitely compiling w/ 4.0. That is the likely culprit.

Widget compiled with 2-3 not compatible with flexviewer-2-4???

Hi,

I developed a widget based on Flexviewer-2-3, and when I copy and paste it into the new flexviewer-2-4 environment and try to launch it the application crashes saying this :

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Is there a way to make a 2-3compiled widget work with a flexviewer2-4 environment? (i mean other way than just recompile it with the 2-4environment source)

Thank for your feedback.

Alex

Aaron, the download link is working fine for me. Could you try again? Maybe from another browser? Or another machine? What exact error are you getting?
