Advanced Drawing Widget for 3.0?

EricGardecki — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:39:15 GMT

I'm using the Advanced Drawing Widget for my 2.5 application, but am trying to get it compiled to 3.0 and failing. FlexBuilder is giving me some errors and I'm unsure how to fix them. Has anyone done this already?

I'm using that widget pretty much solely cause of it displaying measurements on the fly, as you draw something, not just after completing the drawing. If I can't get this compiled in 3.0, does anyone know of an alternative to get this functionality?

Thanks

Eric:

coomsie posted the following on the gallery page yesterday (if you haven't seen it already).

I've upgraded it to flex 3.0 if people are interested in helping .. all credit to Ryan ... i've just upgraded it ... located here https://github.com/coomsie/esri-flexviewer-3.0-widget-DrawAdvanced ... also will put a zip file up that will work with the application builder too , there are a few little bugs at the moment .. happy to take pull requests to fix ... 😛

Thanks. I did happen to see that today but since creating this post I took a stab at fixing it to compile in 3.0 and was successful. The only bug I found, in limited testing, was that I couldn't save templates. Couldn't figure out how to fix that one. Maybe I'll take a look at what coomsie did and see if he got it working.

I also dismantled the widget somewhat to create a separate widget just for measuring with a line. It's certainly sloppy/not ideal since this is new to me but it looks like it'll work...which is good since there are no alternatives out there.
