Please describe the situation up to this point:

�?� Assuming your using the latest ArcServer and it is properly configured
�?� Assuming your map service is correctly setup
[INDENT]�?� Is it accessible from the rest endpoint? http://<server>/ArcGIS/rest/services
�?� Can you connect to it at the http://<server>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service>/MapServer using the ArcMap link to open the .lyr file?
[/INDENT]

If this is the ESRI Flex Viewer:
What is contained in your config.xml file regarding these? Is it a <basemaps> your loading or a <operationallayers>? What does your <layer> tag look like? Could your type="" be set incorrectly?

My server connects with WMS, my paths are set like I see some working sites... I've tried all various type settings with not luck... I did my .msd and correctly with no errors. My paths appear to the same as other working custom maps on the server.

Here is my code... Here I'm working to add a climate change map in operational layer.

Re: custom map not working

JustinRobinson — Fri, 20 May 2011 21:07:04 GMT

Okay, well... I take it that http://geoinfo.csa.edu/ is a local access only server as it appears to be externally inaccessible. I can't verify the settings there, but are you sure it's a tiled service? Try using type="dynamic" in the layer tag, even if it's a tiled server this would still function.

As for:

My server connects with WMS

I'm not exactly sure what your meaning by this. That you've enabled WMS as a capability, in this case your not going to access this service with that method. If you were set on connecting to a WMS service your "type" would be type="wms"

Does the .lyr file open from the Rest endpoint and display? [ http://geoinfo.csa.edu/arcgis/rest/services/Branch/MRO18701890/Mapserver?f=lyr&v=9.3 ]

P.S. Next time, not to be a nag, but this probably should have been in the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex forum, not the api forum.
