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 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

Hi there, ... but I would like the ability to use Excel and Access for editing, querying, reports, forms, etc. so decided to go with the personal geodatabase. Is this an acceptable approach? You should use the type of geodatabase that best meets the needs of your business workflow, so using a MS Access personal geodatabase is fine. However, please be advised that directly editing a personal geodatabase with MS Access is not recommended. Understanding how to use Microsoft Access files in ArcGIS Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Andrew, By next release he means 10.1 right? not 11? I can't comment on this because it is still early in the development cycle for the next ArcGIS release. We just released ArcGIS 10. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Tony, FYI: The Geodatabase Toolset (GDBT) for ArcGIS 9.3.1 release only included functionality in ArcCatalog. There was no functional component released for ArcMap. The behavior you're seeing is as expected. Please see my first post in this thread: Geodatabase Toolset (GDBT) for ArcGIS v.10 Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Stephen, ... My question is where to obtain information on parameters like basemaps and operational layers. Eg, where can I find detailed information on how to specify a new mapservice? The included map services use type="tiled" and alpha="1" - where are these listed, so I can find out what they mean, and how to change them? ... The ArcGIS Viewer for Flex help documentation is also in beta and still being worked on. Robert Scheitlin posted a great explanation of the <mapservice> tag's attributes in this thread (see post #2): Clear Instructions to add map services to Flexviewer 2.0 Please ... Does the viewer automatically convert all layers into the same coordinate system? If not, how can I specify the coordinate system to use? ... No, the Viewer does not re-project layers into the same coordinate system. The layers should all have the same coordinate system. You can specify the spatial reference property in the <map> tag of the main Viewer configuration file (e.g., config.xml) using the Well Known ID (a.k.a. wkid) attribute. We will work on improving the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex help documentation. Hope this helps, ... View more
