Labeling FeatureLayer the same as in the mxd

I have an mxd that uses a picturesymbol in it's label along with the value. Basically, it's a picture of a callout (a png file) and the text for the field sits on top of it. The labeling works fine when I add the layer as an ArcGISDynamicMapSericeLayer, but when I add it as a FeatureLayer(so I can click on it and display a custom infowindow) it doesn't show the labeling at all. I saw that I would have to a LabelLayer but I'm not sure how to go about setting it up to have a picturemarkersymbol as it's background. Any ideas?

Priscilla,

You should continue to use ArcGISDynamicMapSericeLayer, as this is the only way you will maintain the exact label you setup in ArcMap. The ArcGISDynamicMapSericeLayer does support a custom info window. The way you set the info window for a FeatureLayer is fl.setInfoTemplate well the ArcGISDynamicMapSericeLayer is some what similar.

DL.setInfoTemplates.

demographicsLayer.setInfoTemplates({
        1: { infoTemplate: _blockGroupInfoTemplate },
        2: { infoTemplate: _countyCensusInfoTemplate }
      });

Here is a sample:
