control map transparency with zoom

[SangamLama]

Hi there,

I have a slider that controls the map's transparency. But for a better UX, I want to be able to do the same instead with the zoom. So the more you zoom into the map, the more opaque it becomes, and vice-versa.

I can't even think of how I would begin trying because I didn't find any zoom eventhandler.

Can this even be possible?

The map is firing an 'ExtentChanged' event. You might hook up an handler to this event and, depending on the extent size, set the opacity of the map.

Similar question:

For the zoom/pan controls in Flex Viewer, is there a setting to make it opaque at all times instead of on mouse hover?

Thanks,
