Is there a way to edit the content found in the ABOUT tab in Flex Viewer?

[RichardGeoghegan]

I'm using Flex Viewer application builder and I would like to edit the information in the ABOUT tab so that it contains information about my application. I'm aware that I could use the enhanced splash widget for this but I would like to allow the user the ability to refer back to information in the About tab whilst navigating the application. Is there a way to configure the content of the About tab as there doesn't seem to be xml document containing its code.

Richard,

   Sure there is. You will find the XML configuration for this text in the HeaderControllerWidget.xml. Look at the doc link below in the links section:

Thanks for that Robert. On thing I'd like to be able to do is set a height and width for the About link. By any chance would you know where I might have gone wrong here?

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <geocoder visible="true">
        <url>https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer</url>
        <useproxy>false</useproxy>
        <zoomscale>10000</zoomscale>
        <minscore>40</minscore>
    </geocoder>
  
    <links>
        <link label="About Application">
                <content width="375" height="600" content closelabel=""><![CDATA[
                <p align='center' >

Richard,

The only problem I see is the extra "content" in your tag:

<content width="375" height="600" content closelabel="">

You don't need to repeat the content word, try this:

    <links>
        <link label="About Application">
            <content width="375" height="600" closelabel="Close"><![CDATA[
                     <p align='center'>
                     </p>
                ]]></content>
        </link>
    </links>
