topic Choosing default basemap in ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/choosing-default-basemap/m-p/415865#M11854 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I've built a flex application using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex that uses the MapSwitcher widget to display the ESRI basemaps and a custom cached basemap I've published. Everything works well except the application wants to use my custom based map as the default. If I change the visibility of that layer to "false" it turns off the layer at startup but does not display one of the ESRI layers. What I would like to have is the ESRI Topographic Basemap to show up by default? Any ideas?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 02 Dec 2013 14:21:56 GMT JamesMitchell_Jr_ 2013-12-02T14:21:56Z Choosing default basemap https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/choosing-default-basemap/m-p/415865#M11854 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I've built a flex application using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex that uses the MapSwitcher widget to display the ESRI basemaps and a custom cached basemap I've published.
