Thanks for the reply. I have built a map using flex viewer. NOT "Application builder" where I manipulating the config file. If I import that would that work. I mean I have the API folder loaded into a new project. with all of esri's samples. I guess to get some understanding. I can I manipulate one of those samples and have the code pointing to our services on our ArcGis server. For example use the ArcGISWebMap.mxml sample and have it looking at our data? I have flash builder so I am going to use it. I am just trying to get an understanding of the process. ... View more

Thanks for that Bjorn. So I have decided to try my hand at developing and bought flash builder 4.6 Just to make sure though. Now that I have flash builder I will be able to "consume" my web maps that I created in App builder 3.0 on tabulates Correct. I also downloaded ArcGis API for flex. With these I can create my own "app" that will be able to consume my app builder maps on tabulates. Here's another question: Our ultimate goal is to put all of our data in the cloud. either on Amazon or arcgis on-line. Is it possible ti upload our app builder maps to the cloud then have them consume the maps from the cloud on tabulates? Erik ... View more

So. I have started working with flex viewer-App builder and have successfully created a few Web Apps that function really well. But now I am confused as to whether or not I am going in the wrong direction when it comes to be able to deploy these maps to our field people. We ultimately want to have our field crews using tabulates. I understand that Apples IOS does not support flash plug-ins. And that Android does. now I am reading, hearing that Android is not the way to go because Adobe is doing something with flash and the new androids will not support flash plug-ins. So needless to say I am very confused at this point with what direction I should be headed in. Is it best then to buy adobe flash builder and learn how to create my own map apps that will allow us to use our flex viewer builder maps that I have created or should I be concentrating my efforts somewhere else. I have little to no programming experience which is why I liked builder a lot. If someone could please give me an idea as to what tabulates would be best for us to use or which is the easiest ones to create web apps for if that's what we need to do. We are a smaller organization so our field crews don't edit data just view and query, look at linked drawings, in the field. From my reading I am guessing that building map apps in adobe flash builder with Arcviewer flex API is probably the best route to ensure that any tabulate we use will consume my builder web apps. Please help me be less confused. Sorry for such a long post but in need of some guidance/ideas.   Erik ... View more

Bjorn So if I was to learn and create these apps can I use them with builder so that our ios/androids can use the maps i make in builder? ... View more

Bjorn Thanks for the info. But I am not a developer and have no programming skills that is why i like to use builder. So what you are saying is that I should not be using builder? ... View more

Again, Thanks Robert for all your help. One last question does android support flash plug-in? We are not committed to apple by any means. So if Android works we might just use them or any tabulate for that matter that does work we would consider. Erik. ... View more

Thanks for that Robert. Let me ask you this. Our goal is to have our data stored in the "cloud". So is it possible then for them (the field guys) to go to the url created by the app builder and view the map. Or am I wasting my time messing around with the app builder and should be focusing my time on another way to push our data out to the field guys. We are a small organization and our field employees do not do any type of editing they simply just view our data and the linked images that we have. We currently have arcreader loaded on all the laptops and have a process where they can be updated. But we want to get away from that and have them accessing our data from the cloud using web maps.  Erik ... View more
