Christina, I couldn't remember if you were one of those who was not using the source code.So here is a snippet of what I do in my MapManager.mxml in the addLayerToMap function. case "feature":
{
var featureLayer:FeatureLayer = new FeatureLayer(url);
featureLayer.addEventListener(FlexEvent.HIDE, featureLayer_hideHandler);
featureLayer.alpha = alpha;
featureLayer.id = label;
featureLayer.name = label;
featureLayer.outFields = [ '*' ];
featureLayer.token = token;
featureLayer.visible = visible;
featureLayer.useMapTime = useMapTime;
if (label == "Traffic Cameras")
{
var picSymbol:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol("assets/images/i_camera.png",30,30,0,0,0);
var rend:Renderer = new SimpleRenderer(picSymbol);
featureLayer.renderer = rend;
}
if (label == "Louisville Police Facilities")
{
var picSymbol0:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol("assets/images/i_policestation.png",30,30,0,0,0);
var rend0:Renderer = new SimpleRenderer(picSymbol0);
featureLayer.renderer = rend0;
}
if (label == "Louisville Places")
{
var picSymbol2:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol("assets/images/bat.png",30,30,0,0,0);
var picSymbol3:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol("assets/images/horse.png",30,30,0,0,0);
var picSymbol4:PictureMarkerSymbol = new PictureMarkerSymbol("assets/images/mansion.png",30,30,0,0,0);
var uniqueValuerenderer:UniqueValueRenderer = new UniqueValueRenderer();
uniqueValuerenderer.attribute = "NAME";
var uniqueValueInfos:Array = [];
uniqueValueInfos.push(new UniqueValueInfo(picSymbol3, "Chuchhill Downs"));
uniqueValueInfos.push(new UniqueValueInfo(picSymbol2, "louisville slugger factory"));
uniqueValueInfos.push(new UniqueValueInfo(picSymbol4, "Whitehall Mansion"));
uniqueValuerenderer.infos = uniqueValueInfos;
featureLayer.renderer = uniqueValuerenderer;
}
if (useAMF)
{
featureLayer.useAMF = useAMF == "true";
}
if (mode)
{
featureLayer.mode = mode;
}
if (definitionExpression && definitionExpression != "")
{
featureLayer.definitionExpression = definitionExpression;
}
if (proxyUrl && useProxy)
{
featureLayer.proxyURL = proxyUrl;
}
if (operationalLayer)
{
layerObject.layer = featureLayer;
}
map.addLayer(featureLayer);
break;
}
