I have been trolling the web for a definitive answer to this problem. I have had like many other starting to use Flexviewer run into the rediculous problem of it not doing what I assume many people want it to do. i.e add you own tiled base map map service to the viewer. Like others I have been unable to do this. I have managed to get a dynamic service to overlay Queensland Australia but no amount of trying the many partial solutions I have found on the forum and web in general have worked. I have ebven meed anlt to get a dynamic service in as the only layer but it does not zoom pan etc. The grey screen of death appears without fail.

Is it the proxy or isn't it?
Do I really have to recompile the viewer to get it to work?
What proxy files could I set up to get it to work?
Where are the instructions to do this?

Please, there is someone out there who knows how to fix this, please let the rest of  in on the secret.
The power of Flexviewer is that you supposedly don't have to be a guru to get tit to work.
But even mortals need the instruction book.

Thanks

Fantastic Robert!

Thank you very much.

What is the /rest/ for? I copied the urls from the map service properties.

Ben,

    Flex uses the rest end point and not the soap endpoint that the url you were attempting to use points to.
