ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.4 just released :)

BjornSvensson — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:18:06 GMT

Today we released version 2.4 of both ArcGIS API for Flex and ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

There are lots of highlights to both Flex API and Flex Viewer. Check out the What's New in the updated help for the full list of changes. Here's my top-10 for the Viewer 2.4:

New Geoprocessing widget that works with almost any geoprocessing task.

Clustering of points from feature layers.

Configuring definition expression on sublayers within a layer of type="dynamic" (an ArcGIS Dynamic map Service).

Being able to set the widget size in the configuration file.

KML Layer - the <layer> tag supports type="kml".

Support for four new locales have been added - Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and Russian - to the existing six locales.

Initial "view" of Search and Locate widget can be set in widget configuration file.

Works better with Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK.

Widgets can be centered using new verticalcenter and horizontalcenter.

Bug fixes:

Color of hyperlinks in popup windows remain the same even after clicking the link.

Multiple bug fixes related to widget layout locations and run-away widgets. Widgets can be place anywhere even when the overview map widget is open. Floating and vertical layouts don't experience run-away widgets.

Overview map widget can be placed in any corner.

I've migrated from 2.3.1 to 2.4 by copying XML files. The viewer appears to be working fine, except that the busy "clock" icon won't go away.

Hi Bjorn

I have download flex viewer 2.4 and unzipped it to my directory, then when I tried importing the project using flash builder 4.5, error notification come up with the text saying " error were encountered while importing the project. Reason : Invalid project description"

What happened with this? I didn't do anything except importing and trying to load the project.
btw I'm using OS w7 ultimate, whether this affected due to using this OS?

I am not seeing how to configure the Clustering on feature layers, am I overlooking something ?

Re: ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.4 just released :)

BjornSvensson — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 18:59:43 GMT

I am not seeing how to configure the Clustering on feature layers, am I overlooking something ?

It hasn't made it in to the <layer> tag documentation yet, but there is a clustering sample listed on the "Samples" page.

I created a new thread with some examples - http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/35995-Clustering-in-viewer-2.4. Please use it for more questions on the existing clustering support (or wait for the documentation to be updated next week) 🙂

Note that the clustering shows symbols of different size (or not), but that the symbols are not clickable at this time, i.e. no "flare symbol" for version 2.4. For the next release, we are looking at adding "flare" symbols that both show the individual symbol as well as its pop-up window...

I am getting erro 2148 when I try to open the index.html. My older version is working fine in the manner. I have not copied anything over yet from my 2.3 project, just trying to open the viewer from the beginning, and get the error.

Re: ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.4 just released :)

dcopple — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:58:33 GMT

Have also tried using the src code in Flash Buider, I get errors in teh navigation and overview widgets, and the Com.esri.viewer modules as well. It will not compile to build, nor will the default build work as well.

Here are the errors I get....

Line 42 of WidgetTemplateSkin.mxml - Error 1120:Access of undefined property layoutDirection.

It looks like this one error is causing errors in teh BaseWidget, BorderContaininer, supportClasses.Skin modules, and navigation modules.

Please help, trying to get KML into my maps and it looks like this will fix that, I have my 2.3 map running great, just wnat to add the kml capability......

OK, One more update, deleater all reference to the layoutDirection ='ltr' in all modules, and it works now, so it may be a bug in the use of layourDirection.

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:58:20 GMT

Don,

That is one of those unfortunate things about not reading ALL the documentation...

From the What's New in 2.4 Viewer (under "General Changes"):

Compiling the source code [for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex] requires Adobe Flex 4.1 or above. This is to support Arabic and other right-to-left locales. Note that the API itself still works with 4.0, 4.1 as well as 4.5.

It's also mentioned briefly in the "Upgrading your viewer Code":

In version 2.4 of the Viewer, Adobe Flex 4.1 SDK is the minimum SDK version to compile with.

Hi Bjorn,

Is it possible for the users still to have the access to the help and examples for 2.3.X? I can't find the online help for 2.3.x since 2.4 released. I have difficulties to move to 2.4 at this stage, and would like to put the upgrade on hold until the current project is finished on 2.3.1.

Thanks,

Simo

dcopple — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:19:24 GMT

Yes Robert, guess you're right, should read the fine print and documentation. So not a bug, but could have been directed a little better in the getting started documentation (something reminding you that you need to update the sdk maybe?) I am sure it is there, and I just missed it though.

Although in the documentation this was all that I found:

Adobe Flex SDK versions
The only currently supported software development kit (SDK) version is Adobe Flex SDK 4.0. For detailed Flex framework system requirements, read the most up-to-date Flex SDK system requirements by Adobe.

Popup Problems in SFV2.4?
Is there a maximum number of fields that can be displayed in a popups configuration? I need to display 15 fields, but anything more than 8 will only work on the first click. After the first click the info popup box is empty except for "title" and "zoom to"

Any suggestions appreciated

Not sure what happened, everything was humming along just fine and blam suddenly I have an application error that I can't seem to resolve. The error reads as follows:

http response status: 200

Fault code: Client.CouldNotDecode

Fault info: Error #1085

Fault details: null

I figure I must have deleted something accidently from the config file but I can't seem to locate it. Any ideas?

Thanks Robert, that worked. Sometimes Cut and paste can do that to you. What we really need is some sort of program that would automatically upgrade the xml to the new version so that cut and paste was not necessary. Also, any ideas why in IE 9 I have so many problems getting it to show the changes? Firefox has no problems. I have installed a cleaner that helps with this but it seems that simply clearing the cache should do it.
