Help Widget

[WalterDziuba]

I'm looking for a widget that can be configured to store online help instructions on how to operate the flex viewer they're in.

Can anyone make any recommendations?

Thanks in advance...Walter

There is no canned Help widget that I know of, however you do have a few options.

The first one that comes to mind would be to create a link via the header control widget and add your help instructions in the content area or simply add a link to either a help url or pdf doc on your server.  Rob has a good example of a link to an interactive help url site on his:  http://gis.calhouncounty.org/ParcelViewer3.0/Help/Default.htm

You could also use Rob's linklist widget to show links to different help topics.

Aaron created a pretty nice version on his website below that pulls in help videos.

Haskett,

Thanks for your response. That's an excellent example of a well design on-line help link. Well done and great ideas.
