Natasha,

The problem is that there are just to many possibilities to your issue and not enough details provided.

When you make a change to any code in the SFV that is not added to Flex modules list for that project and not part of a widget, those changes are added to the compiled Index.swf. So there could be a thousand different things that could be causing your index.swf to not compile correctly.

Robert, I dowloaded again flexviewer1.3 and I started from 0...
I compiled without any change and it's always the same: with my maps only compiled index.swf extracted from flex sample viewer works and display everything correctly...
I can say that the size of the extracted file is 441Kb, the index.swf I built is 375Kb.
It sucks so much..... :((

Natasha,

You should probably post your config.xml so we can look at it.

Natasha,

1. Your map element in your config.xml is missing it's inital and full extent attributes
2. You mapservice url should not have the / at the end.

Oh Robert how much I wish it could be because of this....
It works very well with original index.swf(built by ESRI)...but with the index.swf I built(without any change from the original source downloaded from esri website..) the sample flex viewer doesnt display my map...if I substitute it with the index.swf(built by ESRI) it perfectly works...one more strange thing: my index.swf correctly show the default mapservices in config.xml...
I'm getting crazy with this :((
