map.scale=0 when Image Service used as only base layer

DanJensen — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:49:34 GMT

I would like to use an image service as the only base layer inside my configuration of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. However, when I do, the map scale is set to zero. Other tools that use map.scale are therefore broke.

Any help appreciated.

Are you using 3.0?

No, 2.4.
While it is true that map scale is 0 when an image service is the only base layer, this ultimately was not the source of my problem. When you are not using a tiled service

map.level--;

results in an infinate loop. Commenting out this code within other tools made it possible for them to work again.

Thanks,

Yes, map.level can not be set when map.lods is null.

You can fix the scale by either upgrading to 3.0 or by upgrading to 2.5 and setting the units on the map like this:
