Adding Own Data to Flex Viewer

[NeilMillward]

I am trying to add an operational layer of points to the flex viewer. I have added the layer in the config.xml file and I don't get any error messages when the viewer loads, I just don't see any of the points on the map.

I have checked the url to the service and this is working.

My points are in State Plane Projection and the base layers are Web Mercator. Could this be the problem?

Thanks

As long as your MapService is not tiled, then it should work fine with your point data being in a different projection than the base layers.  What does your <layer> tag look like?

Can you paste your code?

It could be that the type is wrong  I was using type="feature" and it needed to be type="dynamic"

But without seeing what you have, it's hard to tell.

[NeilMillward]

It is a dynamic map service. I also added it to the map switcher to see if it worked there and it does.
When I select the CLTies button I am able to see the points but when the Streets button is selected and I check the Centerline Ties box under the "more" button the points do not appear. See code below:

       <basemaps>
           
            <layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"  alpha="1"
                        url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>
            <layer label="Aerial"  type="tiled" visible="false" alpha="1"
                        url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer"/>
            <layer label="Topo"    type="tiled" visible="false" alpha="1"
                        url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"/>
            <layer label="CL Ties"    type="dynamic" visible="false" alpha="1"
                        url="http://gis.cityoforange.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/clTie_index/MapServer"/>
        </basemaps>
        <operationallayers>
            <layer label="Boundaries and Places" type="tiled" visible="false"
                   url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Reference/World_Boundaries_and_Places_Alternate/..."/>
            <layer label="Fires" type="feature" visible="false" alpha="1"
                   info="widgets/InfoTemplates/SimpleInfoWinWidget.swf"
                   infoconfig="widgets/InfoTemplates/IWT_Fires.xml"
                   url="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Fire/Sheep/FeatureServer/0"/>
            <layer label="Centerline Ties" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1"
                   info="widgets/InfoTemplates/SimpleInfoWinWidget.swf"
                   infoconfig="widgets/InfoTemplates/Centerline_Ties.xml"
                   url="http://gis.cityoforange.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/clTie_index/MapServer"/>

        </operationallayers>

Also, when I view the points in the map switcher I cannot get an info window to appear. I created a file named IWT_Centerline_Ties.xml in the InfoTemplates folder.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <fields>CT_NUM,LOCATION,WEBSITE</fields>
    <titlefield>NUM</titlefield>
    <linkfield>WEBSITE</linkfield>
    <datefields></datefields> <!-- field in milliseconds -->
    <zoomscale>24000</zoomscale>
</configuration>

Thanks for your help.

For type "feature", the url should be to the layer in the service you want to use. Try setting the url to http://gis.cityoforange.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/clTie_index/MapServer/0

[NeilMillward]

Thanks,

I have the point layer showing in the viewer but the info window still does not work.

Any help is appreciated.

Nothing happens when you click the black circles? I tried the config from above with the change to the url and it seems to be working for me.

[NeilMillward]

No, nothing happens when I click the black dots.

Are you using version 2.1? Do you get any errors when you start the app?

[NeilMillward]

Yes I am using 2.1 and there are no errors when I run it in either Firefox or IE.
