Not too familiar with the innards of the Flexviewer framework, but looking at the WidgetTemplate and BaseWidget, I don't think calling the MouseEvent is the best way to go about it. After some tinkering I was able to close a widget programatically this way. ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_CHANGE_STATE, {id: this.widgetId, state:WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED})); So if you can iterate through the widget ids, you should be able to dispatch that event for each widget you want to close. Looking at the event chain on the close_clickHandler for the WidgetTemplate, you may want to set the widget.widgetState before dispatching the ViewContainer event. Just tested on multiple widgets, nevermind, that doesn't work either. ... View more

You want to add a field to your attributes to hold the selection, something like isSelected:Boolean arrayCollection1.addItem({filename:filename, isSelected: true}); Then in your checkbox itemrenderer <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:MXDataGridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"> <s:CheckBox id="cb" horizontalCenter="0" selected={data.isSelected}/> </s:MXDataGridItemRenderer> Then use that when you want to figure out what items to export. ...

Not sure if this will help, but I had found this somewhere to check out licenses and it has worked for me so far. This will initialize the lowest available license package org.lacsd.services.helpers; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.UnknownHostException; import com.esri.arcgis.system.AoInitialize; import com.esri.arcgis.system.EngineInitializer; import com.esri.arcgis.system.esriLicenseProductCode; import com.esri.arcgis.system.esriLicenseStatus; public class LicenseHelper { /**   * Initializes the lowest available ArcGIS License   */ public static AoInitialize initializeArcGISLicenses() {   EngineInitializer.initializeEngine();   AoInitialize aoInit = null;   try {    aoInit = new AoInitialize();   } catch (UnknownHostException e) {    // TODO Auto-generated catch block    e.printStackTrace();   } catch (IOException e) {    // TODO Auto-generated catch block    e.printStackTrace();   }   try   {    System.out.println("license type: " + esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable);    if (aoInit.isProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeEngine) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)    {     aoInit.initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeEngine);    }    else if (aoInit.isProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcServer) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)    {     aoInit.initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcServer);    }    else if (aoInit.isProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcInfo) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)    {     aoInit.initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcInfo);    }    else    {     System.err.println("Could not initialize an Engine or ArcView license.

myWS.getWebServiceData(selectedMortarSize, numStepMaxCharge.value, piIllum, piUSAmmo); // this happens before data is returned mortarChargeData = myWS.MortarChargeData; The problem you are having is you are trying to get the results of your service call from your myWS object before myWS has had a chance to get the process the results. You could have your myWS object dispatch an Event.COMPLETE when it's done, so it would look like // have your myWS extend EventDispatcher protected function myResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {        myMortarChargeData = new ArrayCollection();     myMortarChargeData = event.result.Tables.mortarChargeData.Rows;     dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE)); } Then listen for it // just an example, you should probably use a named function myWS.addEventListener(Event.Complete, function(e:Event):void { mortarChargeData = myWS.MortarChargeData; }); myWS.getWebServiceData(selectedMortarSize, numStepMaxCharge.value, piIllum, piUSAmmo); ...

I'm having a similar problem with map.setExtent(). It will work the first time that I try it, but will refuse to set the extent after that. Here is how I load my features into my map. function onResults(results) {     var features = results.features;     var len = features.length;     annexDict = {};     map.graphics.clear(); var sel = dojo.byId("annexSelect");     while (sel.hasChildNodes()) {   sel.removeChild(sel.lastChild); }         var j = 0;     for (j = 0; j < features.length; j++) {   var feature = features ;   var item = feature.attributes;   var c = dojo.doc.createElement("option");   c.innerHTML = "TEST: " + item.ANNEXATION;   c.value = item.ANNEXATION;   sel.appendChild(c);   annexDict[c.value] = {    annex: item.ANNEXATION,    graphic: feature   }                           map.graphics.add(feature);     } } My results get added a Multiselect list and a dictionary object. Then when an item in the list is clicked, I handle it like this. function onAnnexInListClicked(e) {     console.log("option was clicked");     if (e.target) {   try {    var targ = e.target;    console.log(targ.value);    var item = annexDict[targ.value];    console.log("from dictionary: Annexation = " + item.annex);    var g = item.graphic;    var geom = g.geometry;    var ext = geom.getExtent();       // tried to explicitly create a new extent, but same result    var xmin = ext.xmin;    var ymin = ext.ymin;    var xmax = ext.xmax;    var ymax = ext.ymax;    var sr = new esri.SpatialReference({wkid: 102100});    var gExt = new esri.geometry.Extent(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax, sr);    map.setExtent(gExt);    // map.setExtent(ext); // this had the same result    console.log("map extent changed");   } catch(err) {    console.log("error in setting map extent to graphic extent");    console.log(err);   }     } } The first time an item is clicked, the map will zoom to the proper location. After that, all subsequent requests to change the map extent seem to have no effect. My console traces show that I am clicking on a new item and no errors are being thrown, so I'm a bit stumped at this point. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. ... View more

yeah, you'll want to exclude your .* files and folders from the svn because they will usually be machine specific and path dependant. So they won't play well across multiple machines. I have never used the fb.exportReleaseBuild, but this is probably going to be a FlashBuilder dependant tool. I have not checked to see if it's in the SDK folder or the FlashBuilder App folder. I have been using your very scenario for a couple of years now, svn->automated build. To get started, I would recommend the following walkthroughs. http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/07/using-ant-to-build-an-application/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/14/building-a-library-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/19/building-the-html-wrapper-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/20/building-a-custom-html-wrapper-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/21/including-assets-files-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/26/building-a-library-and-application-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/01/28/building-asdocs-with-ant/ http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/02/09/the-master-flex-ant-file/ There are a couple of others that have to do with building FlexUnit tests with ANT, but you could find them in there. Now, I have not tried creating build scripts for Flexviewer, but ideally, I would invest the time into creating a build script per widget. This way, a co-worker can work on a widget, I could work on a widget and we could both run our widget specific build scripts without having to rebuild the whole project. So in a per widget ANT build scenario in your svn, you could have a master ANT build that would run each individual build file, while at the same time it should allow you to build the widgets independantly. Here is a sample of using ANT to compile modules. http://jvalentino.blogspot.com/2010/03/flex-ant-build-optimized-modules_24.html http://modular.theflexsite.net/blog/ant/build.xml ... View more

I know it still works with the current Flex API as myself and others still use it, but I don't save remotely, so I'm not sure if that might be the issue. I let users save locally, so mine just looks like this. var bytes:ByteArray = _pdf.save(Method.LOCAL); fileReference.save(bytes, "map.pdf"); ... View more

I maintain a library using the ESRI Flex API and I know that error all too well. Granted, this error will ONLY occur in Flex/FlashBuilder, I can successfully link my library files in IntelliJ and FDT withouth issue. Go figure. Anyway, in the Properties for your main project, add your library file (Add Project), make sure Link Type is RSL (runtime shared library). FlashBuilder will compile and link to the library swf. Now, here is the kicker. If you make any changes to your library file at all that force it to rebuild, you will need to remove the library project from your Main project and re-add it following the steps above. You'll need to do this every single time you update your library project. It's a horrible workaround, but I do it on a daily basis. I am really not a fan of Flashbuilder at all. ... View more

If it's just the one name you're worried about you could do this var qName:String = qTextFname.text.toLowerCase(); var len:int = qName.length; var ucase:String = qName.charAt(0).toUpperCase(); var temp:String = qName.substr(1, len); var newName:String = ucase + temp; AS3 doesn't have a simple capitalize function.

I don't even remember what was in the core swc, but technically you could load the swf standalone in your app, but not sure what kind of interaction you were hoping to get with it from the rest of your application. I think you'd just need to load viewer into it's own domain to avoid conflicts. Not an elegant solution, but something you could probably play with. ... View more
