We have forms outside of our Flex Viewer to enter an address and zip, geocode that to return coordinates, and then open our Flex Viewer zoomed to that location.
This is working great passing in parameters on the command line to zoom the map.
Next challenge is -- can we create a graphic to highlight the coordinate on the map?
Does anyone know of a way to do this without programming? Are there any hidden URL parameters to do this?
In ArcIMS I could do this, and you can easily do it with the Google Maps API.
I was hoping that someone may be aware of a simple trick or perhaps at least had some code to take the coordinate from the URL and create a graphic at that location.
