Thanks that was great, not sure how you knew to start backing down the versions, but I will try to remeber that! This particular WMS service is time enabled, and that can be seen via ArcMap if you add the service directly to ArcMap.  Is there a way to time series the WMS with the FlexViewer or is time only available from true ArcServer services? Thanks again, Frank ... View more

I am using the Spatial Reference: 4326 base maps.  I believe that should be compatible with the ones provided by the above service. ie: http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer Thanks for your quick reply, ... View more

I'm having a WMS service that I can't seem to get to render in the FlexViewer 2.5. I'm using the following in  my config file: <layer label="Surface Sea Water Velocity" type="wms" visible="true"                    visiblelayers="surface_sea_water_velocity"                imageFormat="png32"                alpha="0.6"                skipgetcapabilities="true"                    url="http://hfrnet.ucsd.edu/thredds/wms/HFRNet/USWC/6km/hourly/RTV?service=WMS&srs=EPSG:4326"/> The Viewer seems to load just fine, but nothing ever draws from the WMS.  I'm not sure if I'm reading my Charles output correctly but, it seems like there might be a missing crossdomain.xml file on the hfrnet server.  Would someone mind looking at this and letting me know if I missed something? Thanks! ... View more

Sorry but hopefully this helps someone.  the answer to my above question is that the behavior I saw was from having the addfeature tag ( found in the editwidget.xml) set to false.  When you do this it must not allow or accept clicking on the widget.  So then you can't turn it off. ... View more

When the widget loads, it automatically turns on all the layers, independent of what you may have switched on or off.  That seems to be the default behavior even in the sample provided at ESRI (I guess).   However, with mine after the edit widget layer loads up and turns on all the layers, I can�??t turn them off in the edit widget.  I�??m looking at the config file for the edit widget and am not seeing anything that would allow me to enable or disable this function. Anyone know how to allow me to turn layers off? ... View more

In my experience, if you want to view your maps on an iOS device, you can either build a map in ArcGIS.com and then download the free ArcGIS App from the iTunes and view the map on the device.  Or you can use Flex 2.5.1 and build a custom app for your iOS device.  I have done both and have been pretty happy with custom built app.  Just contact me if you want to see a demo of the custom app (froberts at innovateteam.com). Unfortunately, there isn't any simple way to view a flash app on a iOS device(ie the Flexviewer). Of course with enough time, caffeine and money anything might be possible.... ... View more

Thanks Robert! I have worked up some python code to automate the creation of the popup xml files into both the orginal format and into the description area of the xml as you pointed out here.   The following is the link to it on ArcGIS.com: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=6cef5fa8b15a4811b1575138b1ca604d Hope it helps someone else! ...

Thanks Robert!, sure would be nice if there was just a way to turn the line wrapping on for the descriptions.  But I guess I can write more pythhon code to spit out xml files.... Have a good year! Frank ... View more

Andrew, thank for chiming back in.  I'm running the python code from the Command Prompt window (aka dos prompt).  I have rebooted my machine and now it seems to see the changes after running the script.  Not sure what was buggered up...  I did swap in the code per your recommendation and ran it with it and without it and it didn't seem to make a difference.  At least now it is working as it should. thanks! ...

On further testing, I have noticed that if I copy the mxd to a different machine, that I can see the changes. I just can't see the changes in ArcMap on the machine the python was ran from. Very strange..... ... View more
