Viewing ArcGIS.com maps with a flex viewer

[JonBall]

Hi

I am new to ArcGIS online and to Flex and am trying to create a map that I can then view through an ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. I have made some progress but cannot find a way to gain the full benefits of the Flex Viewer for my ArcGIS.com map. For instance I would like to use the search widget to find features on the map.

My ArcGIS.com map consists of 2 baselayers and a shapefile layer of 45 points. I wish to be able to interogate this layer in the Flexviewer, but I cannot find a method that will allow me to specify my points layer as an operational layer in the flex viewer, so I cannot quite get my hands on a lot of the functionality that I was looking for. (The only way I could access my ArcGIS online content was by using "itemid=" in the <map> tag, which seems to disable all baselayers and operational layers in the flex map).

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

Thanks for reading!

I followed the instructions to change the symbol in the layers I own in ArcGis online


2.Open the map with the feature service layer in the ArcGIS.com map viewer.
3.Click the Details button.
4.Click the Contents button.
5.Navigate to the layer whose properties you want to save with the item.
6.Click the arrow to the right of the layer name.
7.Click Save Item Properties.

With no luck, the symbol still shows like a red dot in the flex viewer site. Here is the link to my layer is a public layer can you let meknow if there is anything else I need to do?

Currently, the only way to have the layer use your updated symbology is to have the Viewer use the webmap as shown in my earlier post. Another quick way to test this, is to just add ?itemid=c4670a647b2f42e3b6818edc7cb485cd to the end of your Viewer's url.
