Jamal, The fact you are getting the page cannot be displayed window would suggest that IIS is not running on your local host Regards Anthony ... View more

Jim, As far as I am aware the Api is free to use. ESRI make their money by you either purchasing an ArcGIS server licence or a subscription fee to ArcGIS online. Review the Esri License Agreement documentation for specific details: http://www.esri.com/legal/pdfs/mla_e204_e300/english.pdf More info here: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/web-mapping/pricing Regards Anthony ...

Tom, From what I can tell dynamic layers are functionality provided by a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, see: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/concepts/index.html#/Dynamic_workflows_overview/017p0000002p000000/ http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.html#supportsDynamicLayers So the point I made in my first post about dynamic map services would make sense Regards Anthony ...

Tom, The feature limit is imposed to maintain performance with the browser client side. You can up the number of features returned in the properties of the service, but you will notice the browsers response time reduces if you have a lot of features. Regards Anthony ... View more

Doug, Have you thought about amending the drag and drop map services widget: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ca9e4de998714d07a6bdc59ededa0efc This way users can just select the layers they want to use Just a thought, Regards Anthony ... View more

Arowana, I am not sure about putting an IFrame into the pop up but there is a widget that allows the use of IFrames here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d533bad75bac41e6904b4ddbc6b22cd2 Regards Anthony ... View more

Tom, Feature layers differ from a dynamic layers as feature layers bring geometry information across to the client computer to be drawn by the Web browser, the amount of features returned is limited to the default 1000 to enhance performance (though this can be changed).  Feature layers potentially cut down on round trips to the server. A client can request the features it needs, then perform selections and queries on those features without having to request more information from the server. A dynamic map service returns images that are created on the Server and returned to the client browser. The 1000 feature limit is not enforced when just viewing the layer as you are not technically requesting any features just a graphic representation. If you perform an identify or search query against the dynamic layer this is when the limit will be enforced as you are returning the geometries of each feature. Hope this makes sense Regards Anthony ... View more

Ed, I don't understand your images that you have posted. What I can make out is that you have a point feature set that contains your CERP projects which has an attribute field that contains the relevant Regional Command. Using the drop down you have created you should be able to select projects that are within a certain RC. Your regional command feature set is a polygon feature showing the boundaries for each command area so this must be separate from your CERP projects feature set, so the two would have to work independently. Selecting features in the CERP projects by a RC will not also automatically select the relevant RC in the other feature set. We have quite a comprehensive flex viewer application running down in RC(SW) used by the UK if you want to private message me I can pass on the details of our data manager that maybe able to help you out in theatre. Regards Anthony P.s. I have moved your thread again as you keep posting to the silverlight forum not the flex forum ... View more

Robert, Great widget, thanks again for all you excellent work. Just a quick question, I presume the widget uses a geometry service to project the shape file to the right projection. I do not see a setting for this in the config file or is it defaulting to the one set in the main config? I suppose your going to be busy updating all your widgets to 3.1 🙂 Regards Anthony ...

Hersh, Have a look at the following examples: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ce63f1bdd5e64068b9a4fadd2028e379 or http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#/InfoWindow_as_MapTips/01nq0000003w000000 Regards Anthony ... View more

Christina, What is the call you are making to the REST endpoint. Does it resemble something like below? http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/TaxParcel/AssessorsBasemap/MapServer/1/query?objectIds=23&f=json Regards Anthony ... View more
