Update layer without full map updating (Flexviewer)

[IgorYunusov]

HI all, is anyone know how to update service or just layer in the srevice (layer is better) in brouser, without full map updating... I can update whole map, through meta http-equiv='refresh' content='10' , but I also use Login Screen for the Flexviewer, and every time I have to enter the login and pass. Is there some way to avoid it?

Here's what worked for me. I run this function from a button click

protected function RefreshLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
    
    /* protected function RefreshLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    {*/
    map.removeLayer(featLayer)
    map.addLayer(featLayer);

Have you tried Layer.Refresh() ?
