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!

I've gone through this thread and have made the changes to the mapmanager.mxml suggested by Robert and Nathan. But, I received several errors and think this may be due to the changes that have occurred since version 2.2/2.3. I'm currently using 2.6. What changes do I need to make to the mapmanager.mxml so I can pass an extent through a URL?

Thanks for your help!

I'm currently using 2.6.

The last 2.x version was ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.5, are you sure you are using 2.6?

If you are using 2.5, you don't have to do anything in code.  It's already part of the core, for example:

See the doc at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Viewer_URL_parameters/01m3000000290000...

Oops, my mistake! Yes, 2.5. I didn't realize that was a built in capability. I was trying to make that much more difficult!

Has anyone compiled this for 3.2 and above?

Should work the same with 3.2 and above. Documentation is: Viewer URL parameters

I found this thread helpful for me as well.
