ArcGIS Flex application not saving bookmarks

[DaleRoutledge]

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure this is the correct sub forum but I have an issue with my flex application.

The application is hosted on a secure LAN (using services from ArcGIS for Server) and each person can log on with a roaming profile. When they log in, they can then use the application and have the ability to create user-defined bookmarks using the bookmark widget. However, once they log off the machine they lose all of their bookmarks. Is there any way to extract the bookmark information so that we can either attach it to their profile or save the information to a location which can be accessed across all machines?

Many thanks in advance,

Dale

Sounds to me like you're using the Flex Viewer? If so there is a dedicated forum and someone might have had the same issue and tweaked the widget you're using.

I'm afraid I don't use the Flex Viewer but I expect it is using Shared Objects to store each bookmark: (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=lsos_5.html).

Dale,

Bookmarks can be saved off to an external xml file that can be loaded back in using this enhanced bookmark widget:

I have updated it to work with later versions of the flex API.
