eSearch Widget Search Layer and Search Layer Field Drop down.

[MaxMasters]

I am fairly new to Flex and have been working on configuring the eSearch widget to work with my parcel data.  When I configure the xml for the widget I lose the drop down lists that are included in the application example.  Where do I need to change the configuration in order to update the drop downs to reflect my values?

For example when you look at the example at:  http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.5/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml&esearch=2&slayer=3&e...  the search layers are: Louisville Zoning, Traffic Cameras, Road Centerlines, etc.

I am able to search by one layer and it works, but again I can't see any values in the "Search Layer:" drop down, which doesn't allow me to search by additional layers.

App Builder 3.5
eSearch 3.5.3

Let me know if anyone needs any further information.  I've been searching through forums today and haven't found a similar post, if you know of one please point me to it.

Thanks,

Max,

  This issue has been talked about a time or two but probably using keywords you were not searching for. The issue is a bad fix I applied to 3.5.3 to handle those who were preloading the widget minimized and had their dropdowns with zero width, like you are seeing, but in version 3.5.2.

This issue will be resolved in 3.5.4, but in the meantime the work around is very simple just add the width attribute to the widget tag for (eSearch Widget) in the main config.xml.

        <widget label="Enhanced Search" left="80" top="100" preload="open"                 icon="assets/images/i_search.png" width="400"                 config="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.xml"                 url="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.swf"/>
