point symbols correct in flexviewer1.3 but wrong in flexviewer2.1

I created a map service from ArcMap 9.3.1, which contains two layers - fire hydrants.
The symbols for the hydrants are red and green hydrants. When I check the map service in the ArcGIS JavaScript they display correctly. When I bring the service into the new flexviewer2.1 the hydrants display as black dots. So I went back and added the map service to the older version of the flexviewer1.3, and they display correctly as red and green hydrants.

Any ideas?

This layer is joined on a standalone table. The join is not working correctly either. It should just be displaying where records match but it displays all records in the fc.

Thanks.

Will

Will,

How are you adding this service into your config.xml? Is your ArcGIS Server still 9.3 or 10?

I got it to work finally.

Originally, I was using the pre-compiled 2.1 flexviewer and I added map services as type="feature".

I downloaded the src files for the 2.1 flexviewer and then added the map service as type="dynamic", and now the hydrants are displaying as the correct symbol and colors.

The join appears to be working as it is in ArcMap.

Is this a problem with the pre-compiled 2.1 flexviewer? I am not sure.

Will,

No it has nothing to do with the compiled or uncompiled version it has to do with how you added it as a featurelayer type initially which requires you to specify symbology for the features if you are not using a ArcGIS Server 10. When you added it as dynamic it uses the symbology for the server whither it is 9.3 or 10 server.

Thanks for the info.
We are using 9.3.1 ArcGIS Server.
I added it as a feature type and did not specify the symbology, so that is why I got the black dots.
Thanks for the quick responses.
