Repost of "Sample Map Viewer 1.3 Base Map Switcher Buttons"

[JoshCalhoun]

Ok, this is a repost from the one down below(view link). I have a new problem (see below link). I would like to share and hopefully get help with it. Any help you all can give me will be greatly appreciated.

post below.


Ok,,, I was able to toggle between two maps with no problem but now my boss wants three maps to toggle between. I tried adding a third map and I used a case statement to switch between maps. Now I can not switch any map and the map I had at the bottom of the list shows up in the map. I can still switch maps in the "menumap" menu but I can not toggle back and fourth between maps. Below is my code.

             layout    ="absolute"
             applicationComplete ="registerGlobalKeyHandler()"
             styleName   ="plain"
             backgroundColor  ="#6E6E6E"

Josh,

  Same as I replied to the other post.

private function setBasemap(basemap:String):void
            {
                var lyr:Layer = SiteContainer.getInstance().controller.map.getLayer("Leaf Collection Map");
                var lyr2:Layer = SiteContainer.getInstance().controller.map.getLayer("Recycle Collection Map");
                var lyr3:Layer = SiteContainer.getInstance().controller.map.getLayer("Garbage Collection Map");
                switch(basemap)
                {
                    case "Leaf Collection Map":
                    {
                        lyr.visible = true;
                        lyr2.visible = false;
                        lyr3.visible = false;
                        break;
                    }
                    case "Recycle Collection Map":
                    {
                        lyr.visible = false;
                        lyr2.visible = true;
                        lyr3.visible = false;
                        break;
                    }
                    case "Garbage Collection Map":
                    {
                        lyr.visible = false;
                        lyr2.visible = false;
                        lyr3.visible = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

Robert,

Thanks for your help. That worked perfectly.

thanks a bunch.

One question though. What does one have to do to become a forums MVP?
