Thanks, The users xml was just leftover garbage from previous testing.  Nothing critical there.  I will also check out the flash api, I hate having to use a proxy. ... View more

When you load your page set a fullExtent variable: private var fullExtent:Extent = new Extent(x,y,xx,yy,map.spatialReference); Then create a function to use that when you want thje full extent shown. Mine looks like this: private function mapfullExtent():void { try{   if (fullExtent !=null)   {    map.extent = fullExtent;   }else{    navToolbar.zoomToFullExtent();   }   }catch(err:Error){ } } ...

This would be more useful in the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex forum I agree to a certain extent.  The code I put up transcends the sample viewer.  This sample will work with any flex implementation.  Cheers and enjoy. ... View more

Eddie, for each(addedGraphic in myGraphicsLayer.graphicProvider) { if (addedGraphic.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)==true) { addedGraphic.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Graphic_Clicked); } } Rather that iterating the graphics to assign the eventlistener, you can add the eventlistener at the same time you first add the graphic to the graphicslayer. you can also do this by utilizing the graphicslayer event for "graphic added".  Cheers ...

My street view widget actually works on this premise. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f069d8a3aa304e29a432b48e5f64ca74 Have a look at the code I use for the drag and drop of the street view icon (PictureMarkerSymbol) ... View more

Eddie, Have you considered using the events of the graphic itself rather than iterating the graphicsLayer everytime? I typically use the mouse click event of my graphic to select it.  This will be much more efficient when you start getting into more items on the graphicsLayer. ... View more
