Dan,    Sure the method is when you use the addarcgisbasemaps="true" attribute in the map tag it will append available basemaps from the ArcGIS Portal to your map (meaning if you have manually add a particular base map than it will be the first on that is loaded and visible and all the remaining basemaps for the portal will be added after that one). Example:     <map initialextent="-14083000 3139000 -10879000 5458000" top="40" zoomslidervisible="false" addarcgisbasemaps="true" wraparound180="true">         <basemaps>             <layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"  alpha="1" icon="assets/images/basemap_streets.jpg"                         url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>         </basemaps> Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check on this post and to click the top arrow (promote). Follow the steps as shown in the below graphic: Hello Robert. Did what you recommended: <map wraparound180="true" initialextent="-13972000 4403000 -13202000 4801000" top="40" zoomslidervisible="false" addarcgisbasemaps="true" >         <basemaps>             <layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"  alpha="1" icon="assets/images/basemap_streets.jpg"                         url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>         </basemaps> I get the street basemap shown but its tile is missing in the basemap widget... see screenshot. Suggestions? THank you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]19063[/ATTACH] ... View more

I downloaded the uncompiled version of the streetview and run it. It works in Google Chrome but not in Firefox 16.0.1 or IE 8. Haven't tried in IE9. All other suggested modifications from users in this forum did not work. It seems that the coding for browser compartibility needs to be revised. ... View more

One reason to use arcgis online is the ability to query. if that is not available, then the explorer online it is more like a viewer rather a gis application. So, it is more like google maps. wher you can import shp files in your personal free account and create map for other users to view. If esri want users to distinguish google maps (where no plug is  necessary) and arcgis explorer online, they must introduce gis features to the arcgis explorer online that is free (so far). ...

That's not correct. I still cannopt get the location. I get the message not found. The update went live last night and the ability to find x,y coordinates is back. There are a few other enhancements. For example, Explorer Online now wraps the map across the international dateline. Check here for the complete list: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/help/#/What_s_new/015600000031000000/ ...

Lefteris,    No, not out of the box. You would have to modify code to add this capability. Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check on this post and to click the top arrow (promote). Follow the steps as shown in the below graphic: It seems the upcoming new version of the FLEX API has support for overlays. Horray! http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Adding_Graphics/01nq00000012000000/ ... View more

Lefteris,    Straight from the readme.txt THank you and I apologize for wasting your time. I should have read it more thoroughly. ... View more

Giuseppe,      There is a new version available that has the exclude layer capability. Hello Robert. I applied the excludelayer tag on the latest version of the TOC widget and I can see that the layer Schools is no longer present in the TOC. However, as you zoom in, you can see the school layer (school bus icons) is still visible. If I read the documentation correctly in this last version of the TOC, the school layer should not be visible in the map as well. Correct? http://svctenvims.dot.ca.gov/soundwall_gis/districts/index.html?config=district_config/d3/d3_config.xml Thank you. ... View more

Lefteris,    Yes the button is suppose to disappear as there is no need for it. When you finish drawing then the search is automatically executed. The reason the "enable multi-part graphics" checkbox is still presented (but unchecked) is that there may be a another layer that you want to manually enable the multi-part for. Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check on this post and to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below: Thank you Robert. I just didn't realize that after you disable the multi-part you can still invoke the search by drawing. The second issue is an issue of clearing the cach after you change the setting. It does work now. Is there any easy way to clear the cache to view a "fresh" map? I read numerous articles on clearing the cache for IE and Firefox and none of them really works. Other than closing all the browser windows I could not find another way to do so. It would be a very valuable tool to have a script that clears the cache without having to close the browser windows. ... View more

I think you are correct Mattias. Using the identifyTask will do the trick as long as you have all your layers in one service. Combine multiple services (WebmapServers, WMS, WFS) in to one identifier task would have been great. Something for 3.1? In addition to setting your buffered line as geometry in the identifyparameters you also need to set the layeroptions to "all". Something like his: //Executes when drawing is completed assuming you draw your line private function drawEnd(event:DrawEvent):void    {         var geom:Geometry = event.graphic.geometry;     identifyParameters.returnGeometry = true;     identifyParameters.tolerance = 3;     identifyParameters.width = map.width;     identifyParameters.height = map.height;     identifyParameters.layerOption = "all";     identifyParameters.mapExtent = map.extent;     identifyTask.showBusyCursor = true;         //Bufferering drawing     var bufferParameters:BufferParameters = new BufferParameters();     bufferParameters.geometries = [ geom ];     bufferParameters.distances = [ <your buffer distance value> ];     bufferParameters.unit = GeometryService.UNIT_METER;     bufferParameters.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;     bufferParameters.unionResults = true;          geometryService.addEventListener(GeometryServiceEvent.BUFFER_COMPLETE, bufferCompleteHandler1);     geometryService.buffer(bufferParameters);          function bufferCompleteHandler1(event:GeometryServiceEvent):void     {      for each (var polygon:Polygon in event.result)      {       geometryService.removeEventListener(GeometryServiceEvent.BUFFER_COMPLETE, bufferCompleteHandler1);       identifyParameters.geometry = polygon;       identifyTaskIntresseletaren.execute(identifyParameters)       break;      }     }    }    <esri:GeometryService id="geometryService" url="<your geometry service> "/>   <esri:IdentifyParameters id="identifyParameters"/>   <esri:IdentifyTask id="identifyTask"        concurrency="last"        showBusyCursor="true" executeComplete="identifyTask_executeCompleteHandler(event)"/> This will work as long as you don't combine your spatial search with a text search. text search - use findtask spatial search - use identifytask text and spatial search - use querytask but can only search on one layer and field at a time searching in one layer only - use querytask, much faster than findtask and identifytask Karl M Växjö municipality Thank you. I thought that a loop to go through all the layers are identified in an array could do just that. I will work with your code to see if that works. Thank you. ... View more

Lefteris,    There is no such widget as there is currently no good Flex API path for doing this. The find task will search all layers in a map service but it will only search based on a string and not geometry. ok thanks. that's too bad. I was able to do something like this using javascript in arcims. ... View more

Lefteris,     It is pretty straight forward. Choose the graphical search. Choose the layer that you will be searching. Check the buffer graphic checkbox and define the unit of measure and distance. If you are only going to draw a single graphic then uncheck enable multi-part graphics. Draw a graphic using one of the draw tools. If you unchecked the enable multi-part graphics in step 4 then that is it, if you left it checked then you have to click the search button. I have some pretty in depth documentation pdfs in the download that you need to look at. Thank you for the replay Robert. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I am looking for the tool that will display all features within a buffer from ALL layers that have features within. The tool as it stands now, you have to select a layer at each time and apply the buffer. I'd like to take the chance and thank you so much for all your work. ... View more

Lefteris,    The eSearch does exactly that. http://www.arcgis.com/rc/item.html?id=5d4995ccdb99429185dfd8d8fb2a513e Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check on this post and to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]0[/ATTACH] Thank you.
