Thanks so much.  That got me what I was looking for.  I didn't event realize that the parent attribute existed. ... View more

David,   It actually has more to do with the PictureMarkerSymbol than the UniqueValueRenderer. The way to avoid this is to set mouseChildren = "false". Thanks for your quick reply! I was actually looking at the mouseChildren attribute.  Symbols don't seem to have a mouseChildren attribute, and the graphicAdd event never seems to be triggered, so I can't set it for the Graphic.  Do you mean that I should set mouseChildren=false for the GraphicsLayer? Thanks again! ... View more

Thanks, Dan.  I was able to adapt your code for my purposes.  Instead of using a Polygon, I just used an Extent since I was looking for a square anyway.  This simplified the process a bit: protected function Map_mapClickHandler(event:MapMouseEvent):void    {     //allow user to enter size of square desired in map units     if(tInput1.text == ""){          Alert.show("Please enter a number in the text input before clicking the map.");     }else{           var size:int = Number(tInput1.text);      var halfSize:Number = size/2;           var center:MapPoint=Map.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY);           var extent:Extent = new Extent(center.x - halfSize,                center.y - halfSize,                center.x + halfSize,                center.y + halfSize,                map.spatialReference);           var newGraphic:Graphic = new Graphic;      newGraphic.geometry=extent;      newGraphic.symbol=symbol1;           gLayer.add(newGraphic);     }    } This appears to be working for me.  Thanks again!  If anybody else has another idea, I'd still like to hear it. ...

Thanks for your replies. galigeo -I'm using ArcGIS 9.3.1. rscheiltlin - You got it!  I misread the article that your previous post pointed to.  I only restarted the map service, not the SOM.  Thanks so much for your help!  So, for others who are looking for an answer: To change the number of records returned by a map service.  Go to the config file location; by default this is at: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\server\user\cfg\ open the cfg file for your service with a text editor (like Notepad); these are named by the follow pattern: <configuration name>.<service type>.cfg find <MaxRecordCount>500</MaxRecordCount> Change the 500 to your desired value. save the file. restart the ArcGIS Server Object Manager service, (Control Panel -> Administrator Tools -> Services) Thanks again! ...

It seems that graphicsLayers (and probably all layers) pass mouse event to their children so only the children respond.  I found that I can avoid errors by changing my code to protected function fLayer_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {         if(event.target is ClusterGraphic) {          var gr:ClusterGraphic = ClusterGraphic(event.target);          var grs:Array = gr.cluster.graphics;          for each(var g in grs) {          }         } } I'd still like to know if anybody has thoughts on a better way to do this. ...

If you're using a shared instance of a symbol, then any change you make will apply to that symbol no matter where or when you use it.  You might need to create a new instance of your InfoSymbol every time you use it. ... View more

I'm partway there on a solution, but I don't think it's the best option.  I've used the MouseDown event for the whole FeatureLayer.  Then I grab the target of the event and cast it as a ClusterGraphic.  Like this: protected function fLayer_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { var gr:ClusterGraphic = ClusterGraphic(event.target); var grs:Array = gr.cluster.graphics; for each(var g in grs) { } } I don't have the flash debug player, so I can't tell what kind of errors or whatever I'm generating, but it appears to work fine, and I get access to all the graphics in the cluster (and more importantly, their attributes). Can anyone tell me if there's a better or more efficient way to do this?  Otherwise, I guess this'll work fine. ... View more

Thank you both very much.  The example put me on the right track.  It was a really silly thing.  I put the .as file in the wrong folder (it didn't match the package).  Thanks again! ... View more

I know that when I draw a dynamic layer on a tiled service, I only run into problems if I try to change the specs, like extent, spatial reference, etc.  Are you eplicitly setting any of these in your dynamic layer or for the map? Also, I read somewhere that when changing the extent or spatial reference, the units also need to be set.  If your units are wrong, the dynamic layer may be drawing in the wrong place.  I had this problem when my map units were meters and my layer units were decimal degrees.  Everything was drawn very close to latlon 0,0, (off the west coast of Africa). ...
