Point Features are being Offset in Flex App

It appears that point features are either being offset or aren't projecting. All other features geometry types appear to be in the correct location. Has anyone encountered this problem and what have you done to resolve it? All our data is in NAD 27 and as I understand ESRI basemaps are in Web Mercator. In Arcmap the features align in the right location just not in the web app. I have tried setting the dataframe to Projected WGS84 Webmercator and the appropriate tranformation from NAD 27 to WGS84 and tried it the opposite way.

I save our maps as sd files then load them to the arcgis server 10.1, from there i use the flex viewer app builder for windows to create the application.

any help would be appreciated. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22384[/ATTACH]

It almost sounds as if the projection is not defined for that one data set.

Might run (re-run) define projection tool on that dataset and ensure that it is set correctly.

Thank you for the response. I looked at the projection parameteres and everything appears okay. It looks fine in arcmap desktop and lands in the correct location. This is for ALL point features that I have loaded into this viewer, and happens in other viewers that our GIS department has created. The only solution I can think of is to offset the point features.

Another note: All the points appear to be offset in the same direction to the southwest direction. which also makes me think of the projection, but all the other data is in the same coordinate system and not offset.

Not sure what to tell you.

I just created a UTM NAD27 zone 11N data set, points and polys (created polys as buffer from points).  Defined both the data sets and the data frame in arcmap and published (to AGS 10.05).

Loaded into a OTB viewer and they display right where they should, and the points fall directly in the center of the polygons, so definatly no difference for polys vs points for me.

(in my region, a SW/NE shift normally is the difference in NAD27 vs NAD83 UTM's.)

Just tried with AGS 10.11 and get the same results...

thanks again for the responses. I think I found out what my issue was. I used an existing map that had transformations set from NAD 27 to WGS 84 and another NAD 27 to NAD 83. I was saving my maps as SD files then publishing them as services (still havent worked out the kinks for publishing services directly to our arcgis server). With that being said i opened a new map added the layers and get rid of all transformations and this worked successfully.

thanks gain
