Mboustani, the default location on your web server should be c:\inetpub\wwwroot. This is the directory to use when you follow the directions specified in Step 1 of the link you posted. Was there something specific about IIS 7.5 that isn't making any sense? -Andy Esri Developer Network ... View more

RE: scroll wheel only working over one part of the map. You might have a component that is sitting on top of the map. When that happens, the mouseover event only occurs on that component, and the map won't receive the event. My suggestion is to check for a component that is positioned on the right hand side of your app and has a height of 100%. This component might be in your mxml code before your <esri:map> tag. Look at the app in Flash Builder's design view. -Andy Esri Developer Network ... View more

To add to Robert's comments. I've also used a global ArrayCollection that keeps track of each request token. Then with each response I check the ArrayCollection to see if all the tokens have come back. I've had a couple requests related how to do an asynchronous (tokenized) HTTP request in Flex, so here's a link to a blog post: http://blog.andygup.net/?p=460 -Andy Esri Developer Network ...

If you compile with additional languages I believe you do need the "=" sign after locale. You might also give this a try by adding the keep all type selectors property: -locale=en_CA,fr_FR -source-path=locale/{locale} -keep-all-type-selectors=true ... View more

For Flex 4.5.x mobile projects you can also set the <s:View> backgroundColor property. For example: <s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"   xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"   backgroundColor="#C0C0C0"   creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler(event)"    title="Map App"> -Andy Esri Developer Network (EDN) ...

Hi, when your extent changes the feature layer is most likely re-querying and redrawing your points since you are using ONDEMAND mode. It may not fit your work-flow, but there are other options such as "MODE_SELECTION" and "MODE_SNAPSHOT". For reference, here's the online API reference -Andy Esri Developer Network ... View more

Alexander, Try something like this. Create your own png image and then: [Embed('../images/i_pointer_cursor.png')] private var _pointerCursor:Class; map.cursorManager.setCursor(_pointerCursor,2,0,-3); If you want access to default cursors you can try something like this: Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.ARROW; -Andy Esri Developer Network Team ...

Hi Josh, To automatically zoom to the full extent of the map put the values for the full extent as properties similar to this. I just copied and pasted from the API doc samples, but you should get the idea: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"                xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"                pageTitle="World Street Map">     <!--     This sample shows how to add a street basemap layer to your application.     The sample uses a cached map service from ArcGIS Online.     You can browse the ArcGIS.com site for additional online basemap and reference     map services or publish your own geographic data as a service using ArcGIS Server.     -->     <fx:Declarations>         <esri:Extent id="initialExtent"                      xmin="-17731" ymin="6710077" xmax="-12495" ymax="6712279">             <esri:SpatialReference wkid="102100"/>         </esri:Extent>     </fx:Declarations>     <esri:Map extent="{initialExtent}">         <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>     </esri:Map> </s:Application> I know you didn't ask about it, but to zoom to the full extent of the map manually try something like this were tiledMapLyr1 is the id of your map service layer: protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { [INDENT]var newExtent:Extent = tiledMapLyr1.fullExtent; map.extent = newExtent; [/INDENT]} You can find this info in the API reference, for a tiledMapServiceLayer you'd look here: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/TiledMapServiceLayer.html In regards to the background color behind the map, that is based on the backgroundColor property that is set for your application, for example: <s:Application [INDENT]xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags" pageTitle="World Topographic Map" backgroundColor="black"> [/INDENT] You'll just need to check and see what that is set too in your app. I hope that helps, -Andy ESRI Developer Network (EDN) ...
