How to Limit Flexviewer to Pan only within a fixed Map Extent?

NadeemShaukat — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:50:19 GMT

I am trying to limit Flexviewer to pan only within a specified map extent. Does anyone know where to add this functionality in one of the widget's mxml or a config file?

Nadeem,

There is no simple change to come config file or xml to do this it involves extending the map component and reworking a large part of the MapManager.mxml. Here is the code to do it in SFV 1.x

I have not done this for FlexViewer 2.x and do not have plans or time to do so right now.

Thanks Robert. I will see how easy it's to implement your code in 2.x.

Is there anything new in the 2.3.x version of the viewer that makes this any easier to implement?

Hi Nadeem..
were you able to do this in the 2.x viewer? I tried to use the code provided by Robert and I was not Successful...

Hi Robert..

as always thanks for your help... I followed the instruction you have and I did not any error when I compiled.. The only issue is when I ran it, the map keeps moving up and down... I know the problem is with the extent... here what I have in my config. xml:

   <map      initialextent="-8986000 2944500 -8850000 2974700"
             fullextent="-8986000 2946500 -8850000 2974700"
        top="40" >
what do you thinh I should put in the MapManagerSkin.. ?
