Yes you can. You can publish it to server or you can use any server side language like php to fetch data in xml or AMF and display in your application using any API.. ... View more

Are you using Flex SDK 4.1? There seems to be an issue with Flex SDK 4.1. It works fine with Flex SDK 4.0. We will try to fix this in the next update. Thanks Jay ... View more

Thanks to you guys who have answered.  It sounds like Flex really doesn't have an existing solution for something as basic as maptips or tooltips or whatever they are called.  In the .NET apps I can just add a few lines of code to have a maptip for a layer and it does not require a recompile.  I do currently have a widget similar to the cemetery one posted, which is a modified search widget.  I also have  a couple layers that don't require symbology and are small datasets where I was able to use the live layer widget.  I guess for small datasets that are points I could add some filter and multiple symbol functionality to the livelayer widget.  I don't think I could use the top layer as a maptip strategy because we have so many layers in multiple services that I don't think I could ever guarantee that the layer needed was the top layer.  Thanks for giving me something to think about though 🙂 It is very simple to add tooltip to anything in FLEX. For example you have a several points in graphicsLayer and you want to add tooltop to each point, let call myPoint, all you need to do this. [HTML]myPoint.toolTip="this is my point";[/HTML]or lets say you have a layer and you want to add tooltip to layer, youcan simply say [HTML]myLayer.toolTip ="this is my Layer"[/HTML] Here is very interesting blogpost: http://blog.flexexamples.com/category/tooltip/ ...

This is not natively supported by the API, but you can do it manually... http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=288229#895996 GET_SERVICE_INFO works fine but when i tried  GET_FEATURES,I am getting this error.

So, correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't that mean I have to recompile the application every time we have to add or remove maptips for a layer, and then replace the application while hundreds of people are using it?  You are talking about infopopup.mxml right? thanks for the reply!! If i understood your question right, you want to show tool tips like things...tool tips are dynamic, if you change the data, they will change too or you can make them static. If you want mean more like Infowindow, you can set them up to and you DO NOT need to recompile everything as data is dynamic, your changes will be visible from your application. I hope it will help Zahid ... View more

Hey autokad Thanks for ur reply, but my problem is not wid zoom level. i have my map with DEM data. when i move mouse over map it displays the lat long (X,Y) values. similarly i want to display elevation (Z value) on mouse move.. Im using Sample flex viewer - Banner which displays cordinates - if that helps  Thanks USGS has various web service and one of them is elevation web service which you can very easily implement to get elevation for any point(USA). here is an example. http://zachsgeospatial.blogspot.com/2010/06/elevation-web-service-from-usgs.html Thanks Zahid ...
