Flexviewer Riddle : This applies to the 1.3 Sample Flex Viewer and I would assume 2.0 as well.
Bottom Line is that, when deployed to our web server, the data services of various type and origin will not show themselves or populate on the base maps of the ESRI API for Flex (SVG) in Internet Explorer (7 &8 tested) but WILL do so with FireFox, Safari and Chrome.
We have our services and SDE/Databases running behind a fire wall not to exclude other REST and WMS services that have been loaded into the config.xml file from sources other than our own. We are using a crossdomain.xml in the correct location for .NET infrastructure. It seems the tiled/cached WMS from ESRI such as the base maps and boundaries get through with IE though. Everything points to a security configuration w/ in Internet Explorer but what and where? We???ve moved the security setting to medium (lowest for IE) and that did not resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions or seen this problem? Could it have anything to do with certificates?
Additionally: Within IE it does pull the layer framework from the service, so it seems to be comunicating with the servers/REST APIs.... it's just not pulling the spatial data back.
