FrStreetView

Frank Roberts released his FrStreetView widget on the code gallery a few days ago. It looks and functions great! I have tried to change the mxml to work with my wkid (2961) but no luck yet. Can anyone solve this issue...here is the portion of code that needs to be changed:

private function mouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
   const frmapPoint:MapPoint = map.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY);
    var latlong:MapPoint;
    var wkidString:String = frmapPoint.spatialReference.wkid.toString();
  //Alert.show("Spatial Ref for map: " + frmapPoint.spatialReference.wkid.toString());
    if ( wkidString == "102100")
    {
   latlong = WebMercatorUtil.webMercatorToGeographic(frmapPoint) as MapPoint;
     frLat = latlong.y.toFixed(6);
     frLong = latlong.x.toFixed(6);
     displayForm(frLat, frLong);
    }
    else if ( wkidString == "3857")
    {
   latlong = WebMercatorUtil.webMercatorToGeographic(frmapPoint) as MapPoint;
     frLat = latlong.y.toFixed(6);
     frLong = latlong.x.toFixed(6);
     displayForm(frLat, frLong);
    }
    else if ( wkidString == "4326")
    {
     latlong = map.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY);
     frLat = latlong.y.toFixed(12);
     frLong = latlong.x.toFixed(12);
     displayForm(frLat, frLong);
    }
    else
    {
     //Alert.show("Non client side projection");
     var outSR:SpatialReference = new SpatialReference(4326);
     geometryService.project([frmapPoint as Geometry], outSR);
    }
    
    var graphic:Graphic = new Graphic(); 
    var mapPoint2:MapPoint = frmapPoint;
    mapPoint2.spatialReference = map.spatialReference;    
    graphic.geometry = mapPoint2;    
    graphicsLayer.clear();    
    graphicsLayer.add(graphic);

wkid=2961 is a NAD83/UTM coordinate system with units in meters.

Thanks!

Please disregard above post. It works now having made no changes whatsoever...nice code!

Glad it is working for you!

Per your other question you emailed me about the default viewer/popup. You can set the default view in the code by modifying the pull-down on around line 221 of frStreetView.mxml. Just change the first label in the array to the one you want to be the default. Feel free to move the order around any way you like.

Enjoy!

Frank,

Actually what I am hoping to accomplish is to remove the widget all together and just have an icon that when the user clicks that icon and then clicks on the map the code will default to use the dual viewer and open it in a new browser window. For some reason only the dual viewer and bing options work in my application - and since there is no bing oblique imagery in my area I can only use the dual viewer...and then it seems unnecessary to have a widget open up just to be able to select 'in flash' or 'in new browser' so that could be defaulted to a new browser.

Or at the very least I would like to keep the widget but remove the options/drop-down to choose what kind of viewer and leave only the flash or browser option in the widget itself.

Thanks for any input!

If the widget is opened, then minimized, then opened again and closed the little man cursor remains. An easy fix no doubt....

I'll take a look at that...

Thanks for pointing it out, good find! I have resolved this issue and it is available as version 1.1 of frStreetView. Feel free to down load it at:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=dc56d2ab11534d24a5559ea9dc8f5119

I hope to have some additional improvements out in the future.

Hey just wanted to say good work on the widget! I did notice a slight bug in version 1.1 as I was trying to add it to our app...

I found that in the displayForm function all of the if statements refer to the frLat and frLong variables, with the exception of dualmaps. As a result, anyone using the geometry service to project the points will not be able to use anything but dualmaps. I fixed this on ours by changing the frLat and frLong variables to lat and long. With the way it is coded, this should now work for everyone regardless of what projection their app is using.

Thanks for pointing that out, I was just looking at that code wondering about the repercussions of that error. I have posted an update at the website. The link above should get you there.

Have a Merry Christmas!

How would one go about removing the little man cursor when the widget is minimized? I can see the click events for when a widget is opened or closed but not for when it is minimized.

Thanks.

SOLVED:

place this function at the end of your code:

private function widgetMinumizedHandler(event:Event):void
   {
    graphicsLayer.visible = false;
    CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
   }

Then add the bolded line below:

<viewer:WidgetTemplate id="frStreetView"
         width="250" height="100"
         y="500"
         closed="widgetClosedHandler(event)"
        minimized="widgetMinumizedHandler(event)"
         open="widgetOpenedHandler(event)" >

Thanks for figuring that out. I'll role it into the code when I get a free moment...

Hi Frank,

I'm not sure if this is an issue for anyone else, but the Google streetview has recently stopped working with the FrStreetView widget. Do you know if mapchannels changed the url for this service?

Thanks,
Joe

I just tested it from home and it works fine here. Feel free to test at the following url and let me know if it works from there.

Frank,

When testing from your flexviewer app I seem to encounter the same problem I'm having here. For the "Street View-Google Map" and "Street View Only" options, the street-view imagery is not being displayed. The Google streets appear with a grayed-out background where the imagery should be (see attached image).

Thanks,
Joe

i am getting the same result.
the dual viewer works fine however.
i am wondering the proxy server might be impacting this.

The Streetview is working once again for "Street View Only" and "Street View-Google Map, both on our internal applications and with Frank's sample app.

Hi,
I downloaded the FrStreetView Widget, compiled version 2.3, followed the instructions, but I cannot get the widget to work. I click on the widget but nothing happens.

I added this to the config.xml file:
<widget label="Street View" left="60" top="90"
icon="assets/images/i_gsv.png"
config="widgets/FrStreetView/FrStreetView.xml"
url="widgets/FrStreetView/FrStreetView.swf"/>

and added params.wmode= "direct" & param name="wmode" value="direct" to the index.html file:
var params = {};
            params.wmode= "direct";
            params.quality = "high";
            params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
            params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain";
            params.allowfullscreen = "true";

param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
                <param name="wmode" value="direct" />

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chaya

Has anyone managed to get this widget working in 3.3? I have tried but can't get it to compile successfully.
