Bjorn,
Thank you for the reply. This gives me some sort of insight. Well, one of my still concern is that of the map services. A general scenario I would be working is with cities. I will have different cities (let us consider this as a project with a project #1). Project #1 belongs to Chicago. Similar Project #2 belongs to LA..and so on. Each of the cities have "Downtown View"(That is the extent of the down town), "Riverside view" and so on. Do I need to create .mxd document for each of the city. (I understand your idea of having different view, and for me the concern is about number of map documents I may need to create manually).
I am sorry but this is slightly out of the Flex criteria in this forum, my question is if we have all the city features in ArcSDE d/b how can we get flex application working based on that. Do I need to create map document for each of these cities from ArcSDE, before I can work with flex application.More straight forward, I mean that is there any means which creates a mxd document from ArcSDE automatically without me having to do it manually using ArcMAp? I could publish the .mxd file pretty easily then in ArcGIS enabling Flex to have access to it.Creating 100 map services for 100 cities manually in Arcmap doesn't look I am going in the right direction. (more over we plan to make the system available so the users in the city could do it themselves, so we don't know exactly how many map documents would be there beforehand). Thank you.
