Last year when I worked on a Flex project, I loaded Robert's wonderful component eMapSwitcher (http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/621...d=1#post214917).  Now in my new project, I want to use the tool's transparent slider feature for 2 selected basemaps (1 being the street map, and another is a selected aerial map) only.  All of the basemap layers are listed in the config.xml.  What is the proper way to load the aerial basemap layers dynamically?  My plan is to have a control to select an aerial map.  Then, I can open the BaseMap widget, which shows only the streets and the selected aerial map. 
Another option is for the loaded aerial basemaps, I can select one to activate it.
Then I can apply the transparent slider for the 2 basemaps. 
Thanks if you can provide your idea.

Shanning,

   this is now possible using the latest eMap Switcher widget.

Version 3.2.1 - April 8, 2013
* Added drag and drop re-order capability to the basemap switcher (Thumbnails ONLY).
