ranaura, I am not quite sure what is happening here you just need to add the XGeom.swc and FlexProjections.swc to your libs folder and refresh your project. Regards Anthony ... View more

Ranura, You will need the libraries from the original widget found here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=56d4d2ed5d474eb4b8e29973d2376652 Regards Anthony ... View more

Dan, If you have the ability to amend the source code it may be easier to create yourself a widget. If you set yourself two input boxes (in this case one with an id="longText" and one with the id="latText") you can then create a feature set that gets sent to the gp service. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <viewer:BaseWidget xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"                    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"                    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"        xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"        xmlns:viewer="com.esri.viewer.*"      > <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function AddXY():void { var myMapPoint:MapPoint = new MapPoint(Number(longText.text),Number(latText.text),map.spatialReference) var myFeatureSet:FeatureSet = new FeatureSet([{geometry:myMapPoint}]); myFeatureSet.geometryType = "esriGeometryPoint"; var params:Object = { "Point_Input": myFeatureSet,  //this assumes your gp service is expecting an input called Point_Input }; gp.execute(params); } ]]> </fx:Script> <fx:Declarations> <esri:Geoprocessor id="gp" url="your gp URL" useAMF="false" executeComplete="some event "  outSpatialReference="{map.spatialReference}" fault="some event " />   </fx:Declarations> <viewer:WidgetTemplate id="wTemplate"> <s:HGroup width="100%" horizontalAlign="left" verticalAlign="middle"> <s:Label width="60" id="latLabel" text="Latitude:" /> <s:TextInput width="100" maxChars="9" id="latText" restrict="0-9\." /> <s:Label width="60" id="longLabel" text="Longitude:" />         <s:TextInput width="100" maxChars="9" id="longText" restrict="0-9\." /> <s:Button width="100" label="Add XY" click="AddXY()" /> </s:HGroup> </viewer:WidgetTemplate> </viewer:BaseWidget> This will send a single point to the gp service its up to your model what you want to do with it Hope this is of some help Regards Anthony ...

Timothy, I dont think symbol rotation is supported see: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/33750-Symbol-Rotation-within-REST-API Regards Anthony ... View more

Timothy Replies are in red: I have installed the ArcGIS Server Viewer for Flex 3.0. I also installed the Flex Application Builder. I have some questions about the Configure Window: Under the Feature Properties- What is "Use AMF"? it is checked by default. AMF is a binary format that can be directly read by Flash clients. Using AMF can improve performance when interpreting query and geoprocessing results. What is On Demand Mode? When would you use one versus the other? Choosing the display mode When you create a feature service, you also need to specify one of these modes for retrieving features: â?¢ On demand mode (the default) retrieves features as they are needed, requesting only the features within your current view extent. On demand mode potentially requires more round trips between the client and server. However, it protects you from retrieving more features than you need. â?¢ Snapshot mode retrieves all the features from the layer immediately after the layer is added to the map. This reduces subsequent traffic to the server, but can become cumbersome if the layer contains many features. The browser may be overwhelmed by the number of features it needs to draw, or the service may reach its limit of how many features it can return at once. The default is 500 for ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 and 1,000 for ArcGIS Server 10. Use snapshot mode primarily with smaller datasets or with temporal data. â?¢ Selection mode does not initially request any features. Features are added only when a selection is made. This mode is useful when you cannot or do not want to bring all features into the client, but you want to highlight one or more features for a certain reason, for example, editing, querying, or accessing related tables. Selections are drawn using a client-side selection color that you specify on the feature layer. Query example: you can use a dynamic service for your general map representation, but when doing an identify or query you want to highlight the selected features. Editing example: only the selected feature will be highlighted on the map within the FeatureLayer. Once editing is complete, the selection is removed from the feature layer and the user can update the dynamic map service layer to see the updated feature. What is Clustering? Showing a bunch of points grouped together, see: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#/Clustering/01nq00000024000000 An unrelated question- Can Annotation Feature Classes be viewed in the Flex Viewer? if no, what is the best approach to get Annotation to view? Not 100% sure but I think the viewer does support this Point Symbol Rotation based on an attribute field, does Flex Viewer recognize this? Versions pre 3.0 dont not sure about 3.0 Regards Anthony ...

Eric, Sure you can, If you can edit the source code swap the two lines below around from: <s:Label id="imageText" text="{lbl}"  fontSize="20" /> <mx:Image id="img" source="{imgURL}" scaleX="{sclX}" scaleY="{sclY}"/> to: <mx:Image id="img" source="{imgURL}" scaleX="{sclX}" scaleY="{sclY}"/> <s:Label id="imageText" text="{lbl}"  fontSize="20" /> Please dont forget to mark the post as answered Regards Anthony ...

Eric, I've not actually tried the widget but I guess the .swf file that was in the zip was a complied version of the widget as I cannot see any reference to it in the mxml. Can you expand on why the widget is not working (i.e. any error messages you are getting) Regards Anthony ... View more

Eric, Have a look at this post it may be the solution you are after: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/56727-Moveable-Static-Image-Widget Regards Anthony ... View more

Sean, I have had instances before where my project will not launch and it complains about the index.html. I fixed the issue by performing a clean build, see below from adobe's website: Performing a clean build After a project has been built, subsequent builds affect only the resources that have been added or modified. To force the Flex Builder compiler to rebuild all resources in a project, you can perform a clean build. You might perform a clean build if, for example, you want to eliminate all potential sources of a problem you encountered when testing your application. 1.Select Project > Clean from the main menu. 2.Select the project (or projects) whose build files you want to discard and rebuild from scratch. 3.Click OK.
