Enhanced Map Switcher Widget

[JeffreyUtter]

Robert........
I really like this widget, but I have 2 issues with it.
First, the widget causes a white line across the map. It's not there if I remove the widget.
Second, the labeling dropdowns from the top toolbar widgets are covered up from the basemap/Enhanced Map Switcher Widget. Again, if I remove the Enhanced Map Switcher Widget, the dropdown labels can be seen over the top of the basemaps.
Please advise.
Jeff

Jeffrey,

   Both issues have to do with how and where you added it in the main config.xml. Post you config.xml.

Jeffery,

   You have the original MapSwitcher and the eMapSwitcher both in your config... You need to comment out or delete the original one and then make sure you have the eMapSwitcherWidget above the HeaderControllerWidget.

[JeffreyUtter]

I got it, moving it to the top works.
But perhaps getting the base map layer to move a bit lower or top tools to the left aittle might work even better.

Hmm, the white blank space continues, here is the modified code.

Jeffery,

   Easily done with:

<widget right="15" top="85"     config="widgets/eMapSwitcher/MapSwitcherWidget.xml"  url="widgets/eMapSwitcher/MapSwitcherWidget.swf"/>

[JeffreyUtter]

[JeffreyUtter]

Robert,

Thank you for all of your widgets!  One question about the enhanced map switcher and Bing maps.  I see you have included an example config file in the zip file for this widget.  Is it possible to include the Bing basemaps in my application without compiling with Flash Builder?  This is a step we have not mastered yet.  We are currently using a compiled version of the FV2.5 that we have configured.

I know a Bing ID key is sometimes required.  Any help you can give me regarding this widget and Bing maps is greatly appreciated!

Josh
