Passing Parameter to Flex Viewer

[CurtNielsen]

I would like to pass a parameter, parcel id, to flex viewer and have the map pan to that location. I have modified the Search widget to use a layer that we can search by parcel ID. Just want the same capability if I pass a parameter, paracle ID, to http://mynode/FlexViewer. Maybe something like http://mynode/FlexViewer?request=widget&version=2.1&WidgetName=Search&ParcelID=1234

Thank you!

Amber,

   My first question is you did replace the "<theservername>" with your actual http://yourserver (i.e. http://gislap134) right?

var qFCPre:String = "<theservername>/arcgis/rest/services/";

               var qFCPre:String = "<theservername>/arcgis/rest/services/";

Amber,

This is what I was trying to explain before.  You don't want <theservername>.  You want the actual name of the server without any angle brackets < >.

Ha! I'm a noob, but not that new! Yes, I replaced it 🙂

Amber,

   Give me an example of what the url looks like that you are trying to pass in.

Amber,

   So you are using a ColdFusion front end to this website?...

[AmberReynolds]

Yes - I thought the same thing, but changing it back to .html doesn't work either.

Amber,

   OK I am stumped on this one. I will put out a detailed document and code to be able to run the search widget or enhanced search widget from the URL like I did for the sample flex viewer, once I get back from the Developer Summit next week. Sorry I was not able to help. In the mean time if you want to continue to debug this than you need to get the Flash Player Debug Version from Adobe's website. Set a break point in the code and run the debug instead of play from flash builder.

Thanks a lot for everyone's help! I know it's something silly and I'll feel like a moron when I figure it out.  Have fun at the Dev Summit!
