Link two services

RandellMcGlynn — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:16:48 GMT

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to link two services together in ArcGIS View For Flex. What I mean is I want the layers to toggle together. So if service 1 and service 2 are linked, if I turned off (or on) service 1, service 2 would also turn off (or on) or Vice Versa.

Thanks.

Randell,

This works for base maps by just giving them the same label in the main config.xml file.

Thank you for the reply, but I need this to work with the Operational Layers. Is this possible?

Don't know for sure... Give it a try.

Nope. It does not work.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same need.

Not sure if this will work for you but...if you put the layers you need within the basemaps tags and give them the same name they will show up as extra buttons in your map switcher widget and will draw together. I have grouped multiple layers under the basemaps tags and it works great. It will not work in the operational layers tags.
