Showing .html in Flex Viewer, .html embedded popups

LiamCollins — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:24:37 GMT

Hi I was hoping someone on here could help me.
I have recently used ArcGIS viewer for flex and Adobe flash builder to build and host an online map.
Now I want to show popups of panoramic photos I have taken in the field which are in .html form. So basically I need a popup or widget which can retrieve these from my local drive and display them.

I first wrote a query widget using the �??QueryWidget_Louisville_TrafficCams.xml�?� as my base. This was my widget code
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration label=Photos">
    <layer>http://MyMap </layer>
    <titlefield>DESCRIPT</titlefield>
    <linkfield>"C:\My project photo storage\Photos\"+Hyperlink_Relative_Path</linkfield>
    <fields all="false">
        <field name="DESCRIPT"/>
        <field name="Hyperlink_Relative_Path"/>
        <field name="FIELDDATE" alias="Taken"/>
    </fields>
    <filterfield>
        <name></name>
        <alias></alias>
    </filterfield>
    <refreshrate></refreshrate>
    <zoomscale>18000</zoomscale>
    <query>1=1</query>
</configuration>

this is showing is the �??Hyperlink_Relative_path�?� field information rather than retrieving the actual .html image.

I also wrote a popup
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <title>{Hyperlink_Relative_Path}</title>
    <description>
<![CDATA[<a href='C:\My project photo storage\Photos\Hyperlink_Relative_Path'><u>LINK</u></a>
   <p><li>Description = {DESCRIPT}</li>
         <li>PHOTOTYPE = {PHOTOTYPE}</li>
      <li>Hyperlink_Relative_Path = {Hyperlink_Relative_Path}</li></p>
]]>
    </description>

    <fields>
     <field name="DESCRIPT"/>
        <field name="PHOTOTYPE"/>
        <field name="Hyperlink_Relative_Path"/>
    </fields>

</configuration

This shows �??Link�?� text to click however it is dead, Does not retrieve anything.
Could anyone help me with where I am going wrong or with another solution to displaying �??.html�?� popups in flex viewer?

Liam,

You need to set up a virtual directory to this path "C:\My project photo storage\Photos\Hyperlink_Relative_Path" as Flex Viewer is a web application it need an http: address for the link.
