I added compiled version to shapefile and modified the config.xml and I receive the following error.

the compiled version resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS Viewer for Flex\flexviewer\widgets

config.xml resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS Viewer for Flex\flexviewer

Thank you for your help! : )

Ramon,

Did you follow the instructions for add a custom widget from the help?

ArcGIS Viewer for Flex | Manage Custom Widgets

Make sure you use the zip file in the For_AppBuilder3.7 folder and that you are using App Builder version 3.7 too.

Thanks for your help! Robert I was able to upload zip file through manage custom widgets. So I guess there was no reason to modify config file ?

Although I find it takes forever to load a 78mb shapefile.

To be expected. This is not desktop where you have access to your full memory.

I have tried to run to upload shapefile for hours and it will not load. File is huge, 78mb. is this too big to handle?

I closed error and it attempted to load, but it just display msg loading shapefile .

Ramon,

That size file is pushing the limits on what the browser plugin is capable of handling.

Ramon,

Is your app running on the https protocol? Most of the time I recommend that people don't use the esri public geometry service if they have access to their own ArcGIS server. Change it to your ArcGIS Servers geometry service url.
