Parcel Notification Widget error

[MuhammadKhokhar]

Hello, I am new to flex API and was trying to implement the Parcel Notification Widget. I have looked over the forums and fixed some errors but I am getting a error #2007.

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter blendMode must be non-null.

I posted the parcel locator stuff cuz that ended up not working right like I thought it was.  So I figure if I get the parcel locator working right then the parcel notification should be the same set up.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Shawn,

   So what is the Parcel Locator doing? What is the error?

[ShawnKraft]

It doesn't generate any errors.  It operates like it should but it just has problems with finding some of my addresses.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Shawn,

   Not finding some of your addresses is not unusual. Try setting the minscore to 60.

[ShawnKraft]

Okay if that is it, someone needs to smack me for not figuring that out.

[ShawnKraft]

That worked.  The addresses it was not finding was because they are pretty new addresses and ESRI probably doesn't have them updated in their geocoding service yet.  I probably should set up a geocoding service of my own n use it.

My problem was that when I originally started building with flex, I was using sdk 3.3.  I started adding things and then switched to sdk 3.5.  So I scrapped it all and began with 3.5 and its all working as it should now.  I appreciate the help.  I read somewhere where you said that you need to be consistent with the version you are using throughout.  Mixing them could cause problems and it did cause mine.

I have tried many changes but I am still getting the error : (Error #2007: Parameter blendMode must be non-null.) I downloaded a new SFV and ParcelLocatorWidget but it gives me the error. Does any one know what I can do to solve this problem.

Both the viewer and widget were built in the 3.3 SDK so shouldnt they work?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Muhammad,

   Try updating to the 3.5 SDK.
