no. check out this article from the same section of the help i linked before for more info. ... View more

as discussed in this article, when using the "on" method to connect events, a single event object is returned with event information contained within properties.  this is a deviation from the old "connect" style, which utilizes positional arguments (ie. callback(result) vs. errorback(error)) here's an example of checking to see if the onUpdateEnd event for a ArcGIS DynamicMapServiceLayer returned an error layer.on("update-end", function (returnedEvent) {     if (!returnedEvent.error == undefined){         alert("Update complete with error: " + returnedEvent.error);     } }); ...

good call.  🙂 i knew there was a clientside call to union somewhere, but i just couldn't remember where... ... View more

correct, the approach i outlined before just interrogates the first result in the array.  in order to find the extent of all the features in the collection, you might consider looping through the results to extract an array of geometry objects and then making a call to a geometry service to union them. check out this "buffer" sample to get a general idea of how to make calls to the geometry service. ...

this sample works with an ArcGIS Server Feature Service, which means that SDE data was used to publish a map service with feature editing capability. ... View more

have you already tried calling getExtent() on the result polyline geometry and passing to map.setExtent()? var extent = results[0].value.features[0].geometry.getExtent(); map.setExtent(extent); ... View more

have you tried moving outside the sandbox?  i'm not seeing the same error once i paste my code into a new HTML file. ... View more

sorry for the delayed reply.  i did some more testing and confirmed that this is a REST problem (as opposed to a problem in the JS API).  it seems that currently ArcGIS Server does not honor transparency defined as an alpha value within a RGB color symbol for feature service layers. you can see this problem by removing the .TXT extension from the attached .webmap file (which has identical contents to the webmap JSON we pass to ArcGIS Server when printing) and dragging and dropping itdirectly into ArcMap. "symbol" : {     "color" : [0, 255, 0, 128], //128 (or 50% transparency) is replaced by 255     "outline" : {         "color" : [0, 0, 0, 128],  //128 (or 50% transparency) is replaced by 255         "width" : 2,         "type" : "esriSLS",         "style" : "esriSLSSolid"     },     "type" : "esriSFS",     "style" : "esriSFSSolid" }, even though an alpha transparency of 128 is specified for the symbol fill color, the layer is completely opaque in ArcMap [ATTACH=CONFIG]25482[/ATTACH] since your sample app passes a collection of graphics instead of a feature service layer, you get around this limitation (but encounter another).  ive asked the developers to update the Export Web Map Spec to acknowledge the limitation i found.  sorry for the inconvenience. ...

you're very welcome.  please consider marking this thread as "answered" 🙂 ... View more

definitely possible. in our geocoding sample, within the showResults function, we set the variable "geom" equal to the location of the returned address candidate (the location property returns a geometry object) prior to passing this information within a call to the function map.centerAndZoom().  in order to do something similar in your app, you'll have to figure out a way to get a reference to a similarly appropriate geometry object. geom = candidate.location; ... //first make sure that the geometry of the returned address is actually defined if(geom !== undefined){     map.centerAndZoom(geom,12); } ...

im not sure i understand what you mean by "attribute function", but you can definitely query any individual feature layer in a map service by attributes and return exact matches.  the purpose of a geocoding service is to translate addresses (even when they aren't an exact match to what exists in your reference data) into the most accurate location possible.  this is typically done with centerlines that have address ranges defined in the attribute table, but an address locator can also be created using point data from individual addresses. ...

var locator = new esri.tasks.Locator("http://ihavetherightlinkbutcannotputithere/rest/services/FeatureServer"); you can't geocode against feature services, only geocoding services. ... View more

a couple things... 1.  the graphics in the sample seem to be being pulled from our own website.  in the developer tools in the browser (or fiddler), can you confirm that you aren't having trouble downloading them? var fromSymbol = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol({         ...         "url":"http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Transportation/GreenSquareDaymark.png", 2.  the spatial reference of the returned route itself is dictated by the properties we set when we configure the route parameters.  is your new ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer in a different coordinate system?  if so, you'll have to update the line of code below. routeParams.outSpatialReference = new esri.SpatialReference({ wkid:102100 }); when i tested using one of our WGS84 services (and updated the SR to be "4326"), i saw the same error in the sandbox that you are describing, but not when i ran the same application on my own machine.  im not sure whats going on there.  how are you even debugging in the sandbox to determine the exact line of the error? ...
