I've used this code to created the embedded image that I use with AlivePDF [Embed(source="/assets/Images/Boundary.png", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] var legendBoundary:Class; ... View more

As you state, OnCreate is only fired when the command is created, whereas Enabled is fired continuously (which is also why you shouldn't have any extensive code in that subroutine). This will react to any changes in the environment, like enabling the extension. ... View more

This is what I've done for my extension (in VB.NET). All the commands on the toolbar were created with BaseCommand and I overrode the Enabled property of each command.   Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Enabled() As Boolean     Get       Dim ext As ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.IExtension = m_application.FindExtensionByName("myExtension.Extension")       Dim extConf As ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.IExtensionConfig = ext       If extConf.State = ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriExtensionState.esriESEnabled Then         Return True       Else         Return False       End If     End Get   End Property ...

Hi Brad, Although this isn't in the Flex Viewer framework, here's my app where the user can print out a map that contains a legend, text, imagery, etc. This was using the AlivePDF library. Also, take a look at this for a tool to add MGRS grid to your map Here's the code I'm using to create it. The last two references are the pop up windows that contain data or images.         public static function printPDF(mainMap:Map, overviewMap:Map, legendTitle:String, popData:DataPopup, popAbout:AboutWindow):void         {             CursorManager.setBusyCursor();

I have an application (http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/gv_stjohn/stjohn_biomapper.html) that has a datagrid in a separate popup window. If I move the mouse over the datagrid, a graphic on the screen will be highlighted. Also, if I move the mouse over a graphic on the map, the corresponding row in datagrid will be highlighted. The popup window contains variables where I pass in the the map and the graphic layer [Bindable] public var MainMap:Map [Bindable] public var layerROVGraphics:GraphicsLayer; In my main application, I set up a variable for the popup window and pass in the variables private var popData:DataPopup = new DataPopup; PopUpManager.addPopUp(popData,this,false,PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP); popData.MainMap = MainMap; 'MainMap is the <esri:Map> id popData.layerROVGraphics = layerROVGraphics; 'this is a graphics layer with a MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event listener attached to each graphic This is the MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER function for the graphics private function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void {     var graphic:Graphic = Graphic(event.target);     for each (var attributes:Object in popData.dataGrid.dataProvider)     {         if (attributes["OBJECTID"] == graphic.attributes["OBJECTID"])         {             popData.dataGrid.selectedIndex = (popData.dataGrid.dataProvider as ArrayCollection).getItemIndex(attributes)         }     }     popData.dataGrid.scrollToIndex(dataGrid.selectedIndex) And finally, in the datagrid in the floating window, this is the itemRollOver event private function onItemRollOver(event:ListEvent): void {     highlightedGraphic = findGraphicByAttribute(event.itemRenderer.data, layerROVGraphics); // code to make the graphic glow } private function findGraphicByAttribute(attributes:Object, graphicLayer:GraphicsLayer):Graphic {     for each (var graphic:Graphic in graphicLayer.graphicProvider)     {         if (graphic.attributes["OBJECTID"] == attributes["OBJECTID"])         {             return graphic;         }     }     return null; } ...

I noticed the same about the Quick Links submenu, but only when I wasn't logged on. When I did log in, that problem went away.
