Zoom to user defined scale.

[UnivOmaha]

I am using ArcGIS API for flex 2.4 with ArcGIS server 10. I am trying to write the widget where user can define the map scale (type it in text box) and it will zoom to that scale. I successfully created a widget. But When I type scale in the text box it still zooms to the nearest LOD scale level. e.g. if i zoom to 5000 scale, it will take it as 4,514.

Could anyone suggest what change I need to make? Is there anything that needs to be defined in MapManager?

If you are using cached/tiled basemaps than you are confined to use the scales that the basemap is cached at unless you set the layer type to dynamic instead of tiled in the main config file (as this will ignore the pre-built LODs).

Thank you so much Robert. Sorry I was not sure if I should place it under VIEWER or API?
