Enhanced time slider widget problem

[AndreyZhalnin]

Hello everybody,
I was trying to switch to enhanced time slider widget (Thanks Robert!), but looks like I have some issue with my layers. I can see them in drop down list of widget window, but can't select them. I suspect this might have to do something with grouping layers in the TOC of my mxd. I wonder if I have layer sitting inside a group (I may have a few levels of these, like the folder structure on a desktop, see image below) how do I specify the layer's name in widget's config file? Previously these layers worked with default time slider. You can see example at http://prodgis.agriculture.purdue.edu/NDM_Atlas_time/, the default time widget is the left time icon, the enhanced is the right icon. I am attaching my widgets config file as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Andrey

Andriy,

   Your issue is you are thinking of layers as one would expect (individual layers of a map service) but esri uses the term layer to describe a WHOLE Map Service. So the Drop down is for use the time slider on more than on Map Service not specifying individual layers of a Map Service.

Robert, Thank you for the quick answer. I am a bit confused here: in example you provided for eTime widget does each map/layer in Flex viewer (eg "Shad", "Sockeye" etc.) has its own mxd and corresponding ArcGIS service? Or they are "true layers" of a single service/mxd? Thanks again!

Andriy,

    You are correct that in my example the layers do all come from the same map service but they are each added to the viewer as individual layers in the main config.xml:

        <operationallayers>
            <layer label="Earthquakes" type="feature" visible="false" alpha="1" mode="snapshot"
                   url="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Earthquakes/Since_1970/MapServer/0" usetime="true"/>
            <layer label="Chinook" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1" mode="snapshot"
                   url="http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Portland/FishCount/MapServer/0" usetime="true" />
            <layer label="Steelhead" type="feature" visible="false" alpha="1" mode="snapshot"
                   url="http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Portland/FishCount/MapServer/1" usetime="true" />
            <layer label="Sockeye" type="feature" visible="false" alpha="1" mode="snapshot"
                   url="http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Portland/FishCount/MapServer/2" usetime="true" />
            <layer label="Shad" type="feature" visible="false" alpha="1" mode="snapshot"
                   url="http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Portland/FishCount/MapServer/3" usetime="true" />
        </operationallayers>

Sorry after reading my last post it does sound misleading.
