Map navigation widget - home grown or resource (continued)...

RobertMueller — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:36:00 GMT

I was wondering if anyone has had luck in updating the navigation toolbar as discussed in (http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=294409) and found in the closed post (http://maps.auckland.govt.nz/AucklandRegionViewer/#). I am trying to update the code to Flex SDK 4.

I've been trying to modify the code provided by Scheitlin, however I am unsure how to modify the canvas structure. I'm pretty sure the difference is due to Halo vs Sparks components, although the canvas component is still a part of Flex 4. Changes include the SiteContainer conversion to ViewerContainer, but it's starts getting confusing after that.

Could anyone provide additional insight please?

Bob,

Which version of the Flex Viewer are you using, or are you using a custom Flex API solution?

Robert-

I am using Julie Powell's template (http://baserver.esri.com/goelectric/index.html) which is a Sample Flex Viewer, however I am unsure exactly what version I am working with.

Bob,

Here is a real Flex Viewer Widget for 2.2 (the same version as the Go Electric app was built for).

Here is how to add it to the config.xml:

<!-- UI elements -->
    <widget left="10"  top="50"    config="widgets/NavMenu/NavMenuBar.xml" url="widgets/NavMenu/NavMenuBar.swf"/>

Thanks Robert - The conversion was pretty impressive. I'm confident I wouldn't have been able to come up with that on my own!

Thank you immensely!
