Change Size of Overview Map Widget

[MichaelVolz]

Is it possible to change the size of the compiled overview map widget in the Flex Viewer application?

Here's your requested widget. I created a version for both V3.0 and V3.1

Thank you very much GISDev01 for this useful enhancement.

Is there any chance you can add the uncompiled code to the page where the compiled code is located?

I plan to add it to my github account soon. Same username on there.

How would I access this location to download the uncompiled code?

Here is the uncompiled code:

If you make further modifications, I just ask that you share the changes with everyone if possible.

Thanks again for the uncompiled code.

I was reviewing the code and I do not understand how the .mxml file knows how to retrieve the data from the .xml file.

if (configXML)
                {
                    overviewMap.configXML = configXML;
                }

This seems like where the mxml file is trying to access the xml, but how does it know to look for OverviewMapWidget.xml if it is not explicitly passed in the variable configXML?

I actually used to wonder the same thing a while back.
That is part of Esri's Flex API. The joy of using good API's is they basically do the work for you. For each widget, it looks for a .xml that is designated in the config.xml. You pass the variables just using the identifier *.configXML

Thanks for the explanation.

Do you know where I would find the original source code for the OverViewMap widget that is part of the out-of-the-box build?
