Greetings! Please bear with me as I'm an extreme newbie to GIS stuff. I am working with the Flex API and following the tutorial. I'm trying to change the initialextent of the map element to show our county. The extent numbers I have gotten from ArcMap are in the image:
When I plug those in, I find myself zoomed all the way in to some place in the middle of Russia.
Am I using the wrong set of numbers? Am I putting them in the wrong order? Again, I'm quite new to working with GIS, so please be as simple as you think you need to be.
Thanks!
Jeremy

Robert! Apparently I was. I commented out all of the default ESRI services included with Flex Viewer and pasted in a few of our own. Right now I have this:
You see I commented out a LOT of stuff. We now get the image of our county like we wanted. Success! I cannot give you a link to it because it's internal only at the moment, but here's a screen shot:
So, could you direct me where to go next? For example, if I search for an address, the application seems to zoom in to an address, but it's all just gray. I'm assuming this is because I need to specify some layers. I just don't know what to tell my friend in GIS to supply me with next.
Any direction will be deeply appreciated as I embark on this new challenge. Thanks!
