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!

AND just as I thought - we are not using 10 databases, so I had to add the:
queryTask.useAMF = false; before the query execution.

Eureka!!!

Amber,

   Great news. The funny thing is that I am sitting here writing my Developer Summit powerpoints for my presentation and I have a bullet in one that says don't forget to set that to false if you are not using ArcGIS Server 10...

Thank you Mark, this worked great.
If it wasn't for this forum, and contributors like Robert, Mark, and many others, my Flex application would be rather plain and my aggravation level would be much higher.
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Marc!!!  This is a really big help to me (and it looks like others too!!).

I might be asking too much here, but I am wondering if it is possible to have an info popup come up on the queried polygon feature in the url?

Great question Steve.  Also, any insight on changing the zoom level?  Thanks this has been very helpful.

[SteveWhitehead__GISP]

Jeff, I added the map.scale within the maploadcomplete.  It zooms to the set scale. 

//hideProgress(); // Hide the progress bar
map.extent = unionExtent;
map.scale = 5000; // Zoom to queried polygon

Thanks Steve.  That is exactly what I was looking for.

I am trying to use Robert's solution in the following thread:
http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=...04#msgid923901

but am having trouble with something that seems very basic....

I cannot find the "SiteContainer.xmxl"

I searched my solution in FB4 but only found 2 mentions of it...one in the code I just pasted from the thread and the other in a comment in the AppEvent.as

Do I need to create one?

Molly,

   If you are using Flex Viewer 2.x then there is no longer a SiteContainer, it is now called ViewerContainer.
