topic Grouping layers from different services in TOC in ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703172#M21415 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I am wondering if there is a way to group layers in the TOC that come from different services? I need to be able to do this for several reasons: </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>a. I have a number of imagery layers (that overlap each other) that require caching and need to be grouped together in the TOC. I cant group them in the mxd bc then i cant cache them since they overlap.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>b. I want to be able to pull a </SPAN><SPAN style="font-style:italic;">single</SPAN><SPAN> layer from a dynamic rest feed (not from our server) and group it with layers from our server in the TOC. In ArcMAP you can only pull the entire rest feed, and not specific layers from it. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If I could group layers in the TOC on the flex side, i could publish my imagery in different services and cache them. I could also load specific rest feeds from other servers as FeatureLayers, and group them with my services on the flex side. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is this possible? Has anybody come across this issue before? </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Ive been looking through the TOC package from viewer components but am fairly new to flex and am unsure of the best way to implement this in the TOC..</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:53:10 GMT MattGiles 2012-03-09T12:53:10Z Grouping layers from different services in TOC https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703172#M21415 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I am wondering if there is a way to group layers in the TOC that come from different services?

Does this mean that layers that require caching cannot be grouped in the TOC since the cache would be generated for all the layers in the service (making it impossible to toggle specific layers on / off)??</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:57:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703174#M21417 MattGiles 2012-03-09T15:57:21Z Re: Grouping layers from different services in TOC https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703175#M21418 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>M Giles,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; That is correct for both questions.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:06:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703175#M21418 RobertScheitlin__GISP 2012-03-09T16:06:23Z Re: Grouping layers from different services in TOC https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703176#M21419 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>OK thanks as always Robert.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:14:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-viewer-for-flex-questions/grouping-layers-from-different-services-in-toc/m-p/703176#M21419 MattGiles 2012-03-09T16:14:44Z
