Here's the way I have it one of my applications. Once the XML file is finishing being read, if the XML file contains the extents node, I create an array that holds the extents and make that the dataprovider for my combobox cboExtent. private var xmlParameters:XML;    public var xmlProjectParameters:XMLList; private function init():void {     var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();     xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("parameters.xml"));     xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,init_onComplete); } private function init_onComplete(event:Event):void {     var extentArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;     try     {         var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target)         xmlParameters = new XML(loader.data)         xmlProjectParameters = xmlParameters.project.(@id=="Testing")         if (!(xmlParameters.extents == undefined))         {             cboExtent.visible = true;             for (var i:int = 0; i < xmlProjectParameters.extents.extent.length(); i++)             {                 extentArray.addItem({label:[email protected](), xmin: [email protected](), ymin: [email protected](), xmax: [email protected](), ymax: [email protected]()});             }             cboExtent.dataProvider = extentArray;                     } This is what the Close event looks like for the combobox. public function cboExtent_Close():void {     var extent:Extent = new Extent(Number(cboExtent.selectedItem.xmin), Number(cboExtent.selectedItem.ymin), Number(cboExtent.selectedItem.xmax), Number(cboExtent.selectedItem.ymax))     mainMap.extent = extent; } and this is what the XML file looks like <projects>   <project id="Testing">     <extents>       <extent name="Full Extent" xmin="-7389794" ymin="2023797" xmax="-7360030" ymax="2040131"/>       <extent name="Zoomin" xmin="-7370000" ymin="2030000" xmax="-7365000" ymax="2035000"/>     </extents>   </project> </projects> ...

Is there any way the Flex API and Viewer for Flex forums could be listed closer together? There are a lot of Viewer related posts in the general forum, probably due to the fact that the Viewer forum is buried in the list of forums, whereas the API forum is at the top of a column. Related to this, can the moderators be more vigilant about moving posts into the correct forum? ... View more

I've taken the Identify Features sample and modified it so that it only shows some of the attributes of the feature that's selected. <?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="Identify Features on the Map">     <!--     This sample shows how to identify features with a MapClick and the Identify task.         The IdentifyParameters designate which layers are being identified.     Identify operations can potentially return a lot of information     depending on the number of layers being identified and a given tolerance.     The tolerance is the number of pixels a feature is allowed to lie away     from the clicked point in order to be counted as a result.         In this sample, when user clicks the map, an "Identify" task is executed.         When the task finishes executing, the executeCompleteHandler function loops     through the features in the IdentifyResult and adds them to the map.     -->     <fx:Script>         <![CDATA[             import com.esri.ags.Graphic;

Hi Dan, I was able to replicate your problem, but then I changed the size of the BorderContainer to 550x500 and it acted normally. I even put in another input box to make the graphic even thinner and taller and it didn't make a difference. <?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"                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">         <fx:Script>         <![CDATA[             import com.esri.ags.Graphic;

Here are two ways of looking at it. If you want to add the attribute for LAND_AC6 only when none of the other fields have any attributes, then use this.
