accessing raster data in flex api

NadeemQazi — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:52:04 GMT

I have used Kernel Density tool from the spatial analyst tool on one of my layer in the map document. the result is generated as raster data.i used identify tool (in the ARCMAP) to find the density at any point. However I want to do the same job from client side using browser in a web application.
I plan to use identify task from the client. However I have no idea how to use identify tool to get the information at every point in raster data.
The things i want to know is :
should i publish map as map service or image service to access the density at every point under browser. and am i right is thinking to use identify task or is there some other trick. please give suggestion.

If you publish it as an image service, then you can use the ImageServiceIdentifyTask.
