ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.5 released December 2, 2011

[BjornSvensson]

Compiled viewer available from http://links.esri.com/flexviewer

Source code for viewer available code gallery as well as from https://github.com/ArcGIS/ArcGISViewerForFlex/tags - to use the source code, you will also need to download the API Library separately: go to http://links.esri.com/flex, click the �??Download API Library�?� in Quick Links on the right side.

See what�??s new for Viewer at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/What_s_new_in_2_5_Viewer/01m3000000110... - you might have to wait 15 minutes for the server to show the "2.5" pages...

Yes, there is still a main configuration file with the same structure and syntax. For your case, I would recommend installing the application builder and create a new application (for example "mynewapp") using application builder. Then close application builder, and manually move your customized configuration files from your 2.4 location, c:\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewer (if you were using the default) to the new location, c:\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers\mynewapp (the default when using IIS).

You should then be able to open application builder and see your 2.5 application based on the updated config.xml.

Bjorn,
Will the above instructions work with versions earlier than 2.4? If not, what are the exceptions to this?

Thanks,
Leitha

Guess my last post was a little too wordy, just want to be able to add a local shapefile to Flex for viewing, not editing it.  I can edit it with Desktop and am fine with that.  I can add a kml to the viewer, I can add stuff from GIS servers to the viewer, but sure would be nice to add a local shapefile to the viewer as well.  Just like ArcGIS Online drag and drop function.

I have downloaded the compiled version and the index.html opens no problem in a browser.
I then Import the files from C:\Inetpub\wwwroot  into a new Flex project using Flashbuilder 4.0

When I run the Application I get http://myserver/Flexviewer-debug/Main.html  and a blank web page.

index.html is in the project under the Flexviewer folder and not a sub folder within the project.

the index.html opens in a browser as file://C:/Documents and Settings/me/Adobe Flash Builder 4/Flexviewer/index.html

How do I get index.htm to launch in the browser as http://myserver/Flexviewer/index.html ?

Okay... I needed Flashbuilder 4.5 or better!

Works now.
