KML Widget

dcopple — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:28:43 GMT

Still looking for a KML feed widget. Come on, hasn't anyone figured one out for the newest version of flash? The only one I can find is the .as for the older flash version. Need a newer version that is just the .swf widget, much like the georss widget, or does anyone know how to recode the kml to xml so that I can load it via the georss widget, or has someone written a KML widget in .swf? If this is truly GIS for everyone, then KML needs to be included since there is so much data in the KML language (I know not true GIS data, but still visible data).

Someone please say there is a simple way to inclue KML data in my flex app.....

If you know how to parse XML files, you can simply write codes to consume KML files

Yes, this is the one I looked at and tried to use. I think it is for the earlier version of Flex/Flash. There needs to be another version in .swf for the newest version of Flash/Flex. The .as version is for the earlier version of Flash Player. It would be nice if ESRI produced this as a basic component like the rsswidget, and other widgets. Make it easier to share KML data. I will leave comments on this other persons website, meanwhile, if anyone else has written something to work with the latest version please post.

Thanks
