Hi James, The ArcGIS API for Flex is designed to work with GIS resources published from ArcGIS Server to build dynamic rich Internet applications. It's not designed to directly read/access .msd/.mxd documents. I suggest you look into ArcGIS Engine, a collection of GIS components and developer resources that can be embedded, allowing you to add dynamic mapping and GIS capabilities to existing applications or build new custom mapping applications. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Stefano, Annotation classes are not supported with CASE/UML schema generation for geodatabases. Some resources: A note about the use of UML for geodatabase design (ArcGIS online help) Building Geodatabases with CASE Tools (some documentation on the topic) Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi there, What you are asking for is not possible. The basemaps that are preconfigured in the config.xml file of the Viewer are cached map services from ArcGIS Online. You can't zoom in "more" (i.e., to higher scales) on the basemaps, because the Viewer's highest zoom-in level is accessing the highest level (i.e., greatest resolution) of the cached map tiles for the services. FYI, some background information: What is map caching? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi JR, ... Is there a widget that I can utilize to query parcel and export to a table? At this time, there is no core widget that does what you're looking for. Can you please describe in more detail the desired functionality and workflow on what you want to do? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi JR, No, widgets that were built for the Sample Flex Viewer (v1.3) will not automatically work with the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex application. Depending on the widget functionality, migrating the widget may require additional programming, upgrading to the new ArcGIS API for Flex 2.1 spec, and at minimum be recompiled and built on the new Adobe Flex SDK 4 and Adobe Flash Player 10. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Sree, ... Does it mean that we have to: 1. Reproject our Dynamic Map to the projection used by ESRI. Do we have to reproject all our spatial data to match it with ESRI. Do we have to do this reprojection on ArcGIS Server or in ArcMap/ArcCatalog before publishing? A1) Since the map service is dynamic, the answer is "no" - you do not have to re-project your data. However, be advised that you will likely get better performance by re-projecting the data beforehand and avoid having the server do it when the map service is requested. 2. For Tiled services do we again have to reproject our data at every level of detail to match it with ESRI coordinate system. A2) If you want your cached map services to match and work with the ESRI map services, then yes, they need to be in the same projection and the tiles should have the same levels. Hope this helps, ...

Hi Sree, Yes, it is possible to have map services with different projections in the Viewer. However, these would have to be dynamic map services and re-projection is done on the server-side, not in the Viewer. For tiled (a.k.a. cached) map services, they must be in the same coordinate system to be displayed properly in the Viewer. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Frank, Just to add onto what Robert posted, I too, can confirm that the zoom in/out function with the mouse roller doesn't work for your Viewer site in Firefox 3.6.10 and Chrome 6.0.4. Good luck resolving your issue, ... View more

Hi Frank, I'm able to use the zoom in/out function with the mouse roller without issue in both Firefox 3.6.10 and Chrome 6.0.4. Have you done any customization to the Viewer application? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Todd, The ArcGIS Viewer for Flex help documentation has a map extent helper tool designed for the Viewer application's configuration files. Its coordinate values are in Web Mercator. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Deona, Just to add onto what Robert posted, the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.1 release will work with services published from ArcGIS Server 9.3 and 9.3.1 - however some of the Viewer's new functionality won't be available, such as the Edit widget and the Time Slider widget. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Gary, ... Is this release just that new that there isn't much available yet? Is there someplace else to go to for developer contributed code samples? ... Yes, the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 'final' product was just released 2 days ago (late on Sept 22nd), so it is still pretty new. We anticipate that the resource center code gallery page will grow and have more content as the adoption for the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex increases over time. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Adam, The Classic Controller widget that was available in beta, was removed from the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex final release, because a lot of the user feedback we received indicated that it wasn't really a "nice looking" UI. Many said the Header Controller widget was a major improvement in terms of UI design. During beta, the Classic Controller widget had the advantage of being able to group widgets into dropdown menus. This is now possible in the Header Controller widget by using a <widgetgroup> tag in the <widgetcontainer> tag. The Widget Container tag Hope this helps, ... View more
