I've searched the forum and haven't seen anything very descriptive about this but... and this is more of a straight up Flex (4) question than the AGS API... Is there a way to save out current app settings, such as current map center, map scale, visible layers, etc... to a client side XML file or some such... to be loaded back up later when the user re-initializes the app from that pc? Thanks, -r ... View more

I've got an Editor going in an app.  I can add new features and see them when done editing but when I invoke the editor again, the features do not display.  If I kill the editor, they show up again.  If I delete the local browser cache (while still in the app), the features show up correctly during editing.  This seems to only happen in IE...  Is there some sort of browser cache setting either on the service, in Flex or in the browser settings that can be adjusted, or something else going on? -r ...

I've got an app that works properly in Firefox and Chrome but when I open it in IE I get scrollbars at the edge of the app.  If I open the app SWF directly in IE I get no scrollbars, which is what I want. Has anyone run into this?  What is going on in the template.html file that is causing these unwanted scrollbars? Thanks much, -Royce ... View more

I've got three feature layers (point, line and polygon) that I'd like to split out into three different editors so that I can have each editor in it's own tab in a Tab Navigator.  I've implemented the following mxml: <mx:TabNavigator id="tabNavigator" width="251" height="347" x="10" y="10" change="setEditor(event)"       creationPolicy="auto">   <s:NavigatorContent id="pointsTab" label="Points" width="100%" height="100%">    <esri:Editor id="pointsEditor" height="100%" width="100%" map="{map}" toolbarVisible="true" featureLayers="{[map.getLayer('TypePointsLayer') as FeatureLayer]}"/>   </s:NavigatorContent>   <s:NavigatorContent id="linesTab" label="Lines" width="100%" height="100%" >    <esri:Editor id="linesEditor" height="100%" width="100%" map="{map}" toolbarVisible="true" featureLayers="{[map.getLayer('TypeLinesLayer') as FeatureLayer]}"/>   </s:NavigatorContent>   <s:NavigatorContent id="areasTab" label="Areas" width="100%" height="100%" >    <esri:Editor id="areasEditor" height="100%" width="100%" map="{map}" toolbarVisible="true" featureLayers="{[map.getLayer('TypePolysLayer') as FeatureLayer]}"        geometryService="{new GeometryService(_geometryURL)}"/>   </s:NavigatorContent> </mx:TabNavigator> The problem is, as I go from one tab to the next, each editor becomes active and editing mayhem kicks in.  So, I added a "change event" to the tab navigator with the following code:    private function setEditor(event:IndexChangedEvent):void    {     for each (var layer:Layer in map.layers)     {      if (layer is FeatureLayer)      {       var fl:FeatureLayer = layer as FeatureLayer;       if (fl.selectedFeatures.length > 0)       {        fl.clearSelection();       }      }     }         var i:int = event.target.selectedIndex;        switch(i)     {      case 0:      {       if(linesEditor)       {        linesEditor.editTool.deactivate();        linesEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();       }       if(areasEditor)       {        areasEditor.editTool.deactivate();        areasEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();       }       break;      }      case 1:      {       if(pointsEditor)       {        pointsEditor.editTool.deactivate();        pointsEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();              }             if(areasEditor)       {        areasEditor.editTool.deactivate();        areasEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();       }       break;      }      case 2:      {       if(pointsEditor)       {        pointsEditor.editTool.deactivate();        pointsEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();       }       if(linesEditor)       {        linesEditor.editTool.deactivate();        linesEditor.templatePicker.clearSelection();       }       break;      }     }    } This doesn't work for some reason.  The "deactivate" method on the editTool for the editors that I'd like to "disable" don't seem to do any deactivating.  For example if I have the "line editor" tab active, I'd like to deactivate the "point editor edittool" and "poly editor edittool" so that the user can't click/select/edit existing points or polys. Maybe there is a better approach to doing this. Thanks for any advice. -r ... View more

At beta, update 3, I was doing with success... item.legendImage = o.drawingInfo.renderer.symbol.source; to get the image source url string for point features. Now the "source" property returns a ByteArray and crashes the app. I was using the string to populate a custom Item object as show above. Then using the item in a List object for a custom legend/TOC. How can I do the same thing now with a ByteArray?  I notice that what used to be a url with PNG file is now like this: "http://hiatus/ArcGIS/rest/services/dev/EM_Assets/MapServer/32/images/C8D05CC1" Anyway, I'd just like to be able to use the drawinginfo property (or whatever property would have the image path for point features) for the point symbol. Thanks much. ... View more

I've got a loadError event defined this way: editsLayer.addEventListener(LayerEvent.LOAD_ERROR, onMapServiceLoadError); I'd like the onMapServiceLoadError function to be able to retrieve the name of the originating object, in this case "editsLayer", but what gets returned is "ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer22". I've looked over the event object (event.target..., event.layer...) and can't find any reference to "editsLayer" Id. What concept am I missing here? Thanks. ... View more
