This is probably how I would handle it. You can create one function to capture all the button clicks and let that function handle what happens. You can also make sure the Identify Task will not fire when you just want to zoom or pan. <fx:Script> <![CDATA[   protected static const IDENTIFY:String = "identify";     protected function activateIdentify():void {    map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, onMapClicked_handler);   }     protected function onMapClicked_handler(event:MapMouseEvent):void {    var idParams:IdentifyParameters = new IdentifyParameters();    idParams.layerIds = [layerId];    idParams.tolerance = 2;    idParams.returnGeometry = true;                                       // grab your event.mapPoint and use it for your Identify tool    idParams.geometry = event.mapPoint;    idParams.width = _map.width;    idParams.height = _map.height;    idParams.mapExtent = _map.extent;    idParams.spatialReference = _map.spatialReference;    idParams.layerOption = "all";    var idSym:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol("x", 12, 0xFF0000);    var g:Graphic = new Graphic(event.mapPoint, idSym);    // idLayer is a graphicsLayer I use to    // just show where I clicked on the map    idLayer.clear();    idLayer.add(g);    idTask.url = "urlForIdentifyTaskToUse";    idTask.execute(idParams, new AsyncResponder(onIdentifyResults_handler, onFault, g));   }   protected function removeMapListener():void {    if (map.hasEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK))     map.removeEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, onMapClicked_handler);   }     protected function navigate(type:String):void {    removeMapListener(); // you can reuse this function for each of your other button clicks    switch(type) {     case NavigationTool.ZOOM_IN:      navTool.activate(NavigationTool.ZOOM_IN);      break;     case NavigationTool.ZOOM_OUT:      navTool.activate(NavigationTool.ZOOM_OUT);      break;     case NavigationTool.PAN:      navTool.activate(NavigationTool.PAN);      break;     case IDENTIFY:      activateIdentify();      break;    }   } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:HGroup> <s:Button label="Zoom In" click="navigate(NavigationTool.ZOOM_IN)"/> <s:Button label="Zoom Out" click="navigate(NavigationTool.ZOOM_OUT)"/> <s:Button label="Pan" click="navigate(NavigationTool.PAN)"/> <s:Button label="Identify" click="navigate(IDENTIFY)"/> </s:HGroup> ...

If I understand you right, what you'd probably want to do is add an EventListener to the Map on that button click. // For arguments sake, let's say a user clicks the Identify button twice. // Call your remove function before adding another listener removeMapListener(); // you can reuse this function for each of your other button clicks map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, onMapClicked_handler); protected function onMapClicked_handler(event:MapMouseEvent):void {     // grab your event.mapPoint and use it for your Identify tool     // you can call removeMapListener() again if you'd like } protected function removeMapListener():void {     if (map.hasEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK))         map.removeEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, onMapClicked_handler); } I think that makes sense, and that's similar to how I handle it for my Identify Tool. ...

Thanks Bjorn. Looking forward to getting some test projects done this weekend. AIR lets me work in my comfort zone, but I'm still looking forward to an Android SDK. I like to get native when I can 😉 ... View more

Ok, this was a weird problem. If I add the GraphicsLayer to the map right after initializing it at the same time as I dynamically add my service layers, the graphics are backwards. So services is an array map service layers for each (var layer:Layer in services) { map.addLayer(layer); } map.addLayer(parcelLayer); But if I wait until the after I do the first query and add it, it works ok. I just add this "if" statement in my Query Result handler if (!map.getLayer(parcelLayer.id)) { map.addLayer(parcelLayer); } I don't know if it has to do with adding the GraphicsLayer before the map has been added to the stage or what exactly, but I'm going to enjoy the solution I found. ...

I'm not too familiar with the Javascript API, so there may be a function for this built in, but you could pull the REST in JSON for any layer in a service like this http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Petroleum/KGS_OilGasFields_Kansas/MapServer/0?f=json&pretty=true Than you can iterate through the "fields" element which is an array of objects that has a "type" element that will tell you what type the field is. I find that for some needs, it's just easier for me to make REST requests to get that kind of detailed information. ... View more

Problem is you'll need to use an EventListener or use the AsyncResponder method. var qt:QueryTask = new QueryTask(); qt.addEventListener(QueryEvent.EXECUTE_COMPLETE, onExecuteComplete); qt.execute(query); // somewhere else in your code private function onExecuteComplete(event:QueryEvent):void { // stuff } Without them, you have no way of knowing when the query is done. I'm thinking maybe you need to use the queryTask.executeLastResult somewhere else in the code outside the function, which is why you want to avoid the AsyncResponder method you posted. EventListeners work fine as well. I never did like the name 'executeLastResult', it's misleading. I'd think it should just be 'lastResult'. ... View more

LayerDetails has a fields element, which I think contains a Field object. So what you could do is something like this pseudocode var ld:LayerDetails = fLayer.layerDetails; var field:Field; for each (field in ld.fields) {     // probably loop through graphics     var g:Graphic;     for each (g in fLayer.graphicsProvider) {         g.attributes[field.name] = "somedata"; // probably some if/else/switch to grab address info     } } That could be a start, you'd just need to get your data to the right fields. Either way, you should be able to find Field names/aliases/types in fLayer.layerDetails.fields. ... View more

Hi Jim, If I go to the Flex API page for example, and click on the Code Gallery tab, no filter options show up. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/index.html Code Gallery tab goes here http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/gallery.html If I go to the Code Gallery for the JavaScript API, I do get filters http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/gallery.html I haven't gone through all Code Gallery pages, but some have filters and some don't(Silverlight API). It's odd when navigating. ... View more

Thanks. After some head scratching and looking over API docs, I figured it out. // will find if the x/y point for an address is inside of a graphic on my GraphicsLayer var onMapExtentChangeHandle = dojo.connect(map, "onExtentChange", function() { dojo.disconnect(onMapExtentChangeHandle); console.log("address result zoomed"); var point = geometry.toScreenGeometry(map.extent, map.width, map.height, pointMeters); for (var i in gLayer.graphics) {   var g = gLayer.graphics;   if (g.geometry.contains(pointMeters)) {    var info = map.infoWindow;    info.setTitle(g.getTitle());    info.setContent(g.getContent());    info.show(point, map.getInfoWindowAnchor(point));   } } }); ...

Thanks. That eliminated the error, but the infoWindow is still blank. It's not a deal breaker. I think I can work around it, but was hoping it would be simple. I'll keep cracking at it. ... View more

One solution would be to use the REST export to grab png's of the map service and stack them in Flex to send to print. This wouldn't grab any hand drawn graphics you have added though. http://help.arcgis.com/EN/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/export.html I think high-quality prints would require server side ArcObjects to produce the image. ...

I updated the download page with info on how to compile in to your own project. You can also look here and it briefly tells you how to add your own widgets to a project. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/developers/widget_framework.htm Thanks. ... View more

As in only what's visible? At that scale level as well? If I don't have time this week, I can implement that this weekend. Thanks for feedback. ... View more
