I am using Rob Scheitlin's Feature Layer Tips Flex widget and I am having some problems.

I set up the feature layers as suggested, but when I uncomment the main widget line in config.xml the application never fully loads. The Layer widget never fully loads either, so I think it is getting caught up with getting the right info out of the map service. If I comment out the Feature Layer Tips widget line then the application runs fine, so I know it is this widget that is causing the problems.

Here's the widget line: 

<widget left="0" top="0" config="widgets/FeatureTooltip/FeatureTooltipWidget.xml" url="widgets/FeatureTooltip/FeatureTooltipWidget.swf"/>


I've triple checked that the paths are correct in my local directory structure. I'm attaching it to the following layer: 

<layer label="FO Locations" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1" url="http://50.56.25.234/arcgis/rest/services/serviceDelivery/MapServer/0"/>


You can check out the Map Service to see what the layer is like. It is a point layer with some 1300 points in it. I bumped up the max return features on the map service to 1500 just in case it was hitting the 1000 default setting. I also figured it might be the number of points, so I tried this layer which has only about a dozen: 

<layer label="Region Labels" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1" url="http://50.56.25.234/arcgis/rest/services/serviceDelivery/MapServer/1"/>


I'm using ArcGIS Server 10.1 with the FlexViewer 2.4. Any clues on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated (from anyone). 😉

Thanks. Bill

Bill,

   Are you using the compiled or un-compiled source code version of the Viewer?

Bill,

   What do your changes to the FeatureTooltipWidget.xml look like?

This is using the second, smaller point layer - "Region Labels." I figured it would be better to try and get it running with a small number of points so I could rule out ArcGIS Server choking on the 1300+ points in the other layer. 😉

Bill,

   OK I got this to work for me in the FeatureTooltipWidget.xml:

        <layer>
            <name>FO Locations</name>
            <fields>FO_Locations.ocd,FO_Locations.ofcname</fields>
            <datefields></datefields>
               <dateformat>MM/DD/YYYY</dateformat>
        </layer>


And I got the Region Labels to work as well.

Bill,

   When you added this folder "FeatureTooltip" under widgets, you used the exact case right, as Flex is case sensitive?

Yep, exact case. I did notice one difference with what you had working - I removed the MM/DD/YYYY from the <dataformat> tag, whereas you put it back in. Is this required?

Bill,

   Nope that should not be required just habit for me to leave it in there. Now I am not sure why your having issues though...

Here is my entire opening block in my config.xml file just in case I have overlooked something.

            </layer>
            <layer label="FO Locations" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1" url="http://50.56.25.234/arcgis/rest/services/serviceDelivery/MapServer/0"/>

        </operationallayers>
    </map>


Could the fact that I am using both dynamic and feature layers against the same map service (serviceDelivery) be confusing things?
