Can a person use Bing maps and Geocoder in the compliled Flex Viewer or do I need to make these edits in the full version of the software?

Heather,

First thing is make sure you post Flex Viewer and/or widget questions to the Flex Viewer forum:

http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/111-ArcGIS-Viewer-for-Flex

Absolutely you can use Bing Maps and geocoder in the compiled Flex Viewer.

Look at this:

<bing>
If using Bing Maps for maps or geocoding, you need to provide your key, which has the following attribute:

key???Your bing key. Required.

The following is a subset of the config.xml file and its general properties:

<configuration> <title>ArcGIS Viewer for Flex</title> <subtitle>... using ArcGIS</subtitle> <logo>assets/images/logo.png</logo> <style> <colors>0xFFFFFF,0x333333,0x101010,0x000000,0xFFD700</colors> <alpha>0.8</alpha> </style> <bing key="your-bing-key"/> ... </configuration>

from this page:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Main_configuration_file/01m300000018000000/

Also look at this page for configuring Bing BaseMap layers:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Layer_tag/01m30000000p000000/

For the locator widget and configuring it to use Bing look at this link:
