MapSwitcher Thumbnails for Streets & Imagery

DerekHunter — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:58:47 GMT

I have enabled thumbnails per tag <showthumbnails>false</showthumbnails>, but need to determine where to reference the actual thumbnail image to use so it doe not use the defualt defaultBasemapIcon.png.. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Derek,

Unfortunately you are still posting in the Flex API forum. Here is the proper forum URL:

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

But to answer your question, it goes in the main config.xml as the icon property of each basemap layer:

<layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"
                   icon="assets/images/basemap_streets.jpg"
                   url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>

I want to display all the base maps from ArcGIS Online with the Nat Geo as my default map. I can add the icon text to display the thumbnails; however, I can only find a couple of the thumbnail images. Where are the remaining images in the project?

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed.

Do you know where the other base map thumbnails are hiding? Is there a central location for all the base map thumb nails so that I will not have to bother you the next time I may need one, i.e. grey scale?

Christina,

I just intercepted the HTML traffic that was made to ArcGIS Online to get the urls and copy the images. Here is a zip containing all that I am aware of:
