How can I create a hyperlink tool in my flex map?

Hi everyone,

I am new to Flex and I wanted to add a hyperlink tool to my app. I want my users to click on a sewer line feature class and have a .pdf file open up showing the drawing of that line. The FC has a hyperlink field. I have one in the .net version. Does the flex API have such a tool. Or is there a way to format the identify tool to bring up the clickable link to the .pdf file?

I am using my version of the sample map viewer. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Josh,

To add the hyperlink functionality in the flex application, you need to modify your identify widget. Here is a link that might help http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=295783

You could put the URL to the PDF in the attribute table that is returned by the identify tool. If formatted correctly it will be displayed as a hyperlink in the pop up result window.
