Larry, I am not 100% sure if it is anything to do with your web map not being public, I am just trying to narrow down what the problem is. As you can see from my last post I have used your config file and just replaced the web map id to one of mine that is public just to check that it works ok. Does the link work for you? Have you tried making your map public and testing again. Maybe there has been some bug introduced between versions. Regards Anthony ... View more

Larry, I have just set up a quick viewer in my dropbox account, used your config file but just changed the webmap id to one of mine as yours are not publically available and the base map switcher works as expected, see: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25829160/Flexviewer/index.html?config=config1.xml Maybe its to do with your webmap not being open to the public?

Pieter, At the user conference last year one of the flex sessions mentioned the ability of zooming past the lowest zoom scale as an enhancement that was being worked on: http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/proc13/tech-workshops/tw_280.pdf But this has not seemed to have materialised in any of the releases since, maybe Bjorn or one of the flex team could clarify if this is something that is still being worked on?

Yes, I'm with you Brian it seems like the buffer service handles things slightly different, the help does mention something about setting geodesic to true when using a geographic coordinate, but it still doesn't make it obvious: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/buffer.html Regards Anthony ...

I guess the buffer always returns a geodesic circle where the create circle needs to be set to true for it to create a geodesic one. Regards Anthony ... View more

Brian, My guess it is because you are creating a circle in a geographic projection. The distances will be corrected but the shape will be distorted in that projection. Have a look at the help section on projections: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//003r0000000q000000 Regards Anthony ... View more

Larry, Are you using the online basemaps or your own basemaps? If you are wanting to use the online basemaps do you have the attribute addarcgisbasemaps="true" in your map tag in the main config file. If you are using your own services do you have more than one specified as the switcher will only be shown if you have more than one basemap. Regards Anthony ... View more

I have just checked and the buffer tool in the proximity toolbox does also honor selected features. Regards Anthony ... View more

Aaron, It's very easy as all the config selector does is reload the viewer with a particular config file. In the config file for your main viewers add Roberts splash widget. I jumped from server 9.3.1 to 10.1 so never played with the security for 10 so sorry I can't really help you out with that. Regards Anthony ... View more

Aaron, You can implement security very easy if you have arcgis server 10.1, see here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Restricting_access_to_GIS_web_services/0154000005pm000000/ Once you have secured a service the flex viewer will automatically show a log in screen when the application loads.

Aaron, Robert has an advanced splash widget you could configure to do this: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8492794bf5bf4358bca6cce29db31b14 Or I have upload a widget that allows you to choose which config you want to use: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a28b758b3fc14c5794b30d5c230713fb On your private app secure your layers that are private and the user will be prompted for a log in.

You are always best to use URLs in a web application not UNC paths, this has been explained in numerous threads. I would go down the URL route. Regards Anthony ... View more
