What works for me was to simply go to the registry at the key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\ArcGIS and change the "RealVersion" key value to former version number of ArcMAP you want to reinstall. I had installed ver 10.4 to test but was unable to revert to 10.3.1 (I needed compatibility with clients version as *.mxd 's files are not directly compatible between 10.4 and 10.3.1).  I changed the RealVersion key value from 10.4.5686 to 10.3.4959 and was then able to reinstall 10.3.1 version. After install, switch the value back to its original value (here 10.4.5686) and everything runs fine until now. Hope it helps. ... View more

Hello, Here's the way I'm dealing the date format returned in esriFieldTypeDate type in an ItemRenderer : data.datereservon = the value in esriFieldTypeDate from the FeatureLayer dfData = Datefield in ItemRenderer. It's certainly not the most elegant way of coding it  but it gives complete control on the final "look" of your date. Hope it helps ... protected function parseDateResOn():void { YourDateFormatterID.formatString = "DD/MM/YYYY"; var dateOn:Date = new Date(data.datereservon); var dayFromDateStringed:String = dateOn.date.toString(); var monthFromDateStringed:String = dateOn.month.toString(); var yearFromDateStringed:String = dateOn.fullYear.toString(); var dateResOn:String = dayFromDateStringed + "/" + monthFromDateStringed + "/" + yearFromDateStringed; dfData.text = dateResOn; //data.datereservon = dateResOn; } ...

Don't think ESRi will solve the problem. Too few complaints, the Explorer is delivered "as is" and ... it's free. The workaround I use : Defining the unique values in ArcGIS Webmap, saving the map with the new layer off, opening the map in Explorer, switching the new layer on and then finalizing the layer's update (fields, popups, ...). It raises the risk of errors during the sites switching and is whatever a waste of time but if you can't wait ESRI's good will, it will do the job. Have fun ! ... View more

We encounter exactly the same issue, all our maps based on unique values symbology are actually not updatable which begins to be seriously annoying as we are providing daily updated information to citizens ... Tried with 3 different browsers, under several OS, nothing to do. Hope someone will solve this asap. ... View more

Anthony and Robert thanks a lot for your help ! The query works perfectly with the < and > escaping. Nevertheless, I'm trying to follow the best practices and will move the queries to the actionscript from now as suggested. Have a nice day, Pierre ... View more

Anthony, the TextInput catch a date (dd/mm/yyyy) as value for querying. What I try to do is to retrieve all dates that are <= than the date entered in the TextInput. Pierre ... View more

Anthony, thanks for the quick reply but I don't use an external XML config. The faulting query code is written in a Flash Builder mxml module within the <fx : Declarations> tag. Pierre ... View more

Bjorn, my FB is 4.6 so it's ok. Good news. Can you, or anyone, give me an idea of what may be wrong with the compilation in 3.1 version ? 'till now I was able to track the problems through the error messages but without these I'm a bit stucked. I've even cleaned the Flexviewer (3.1) project, reinstalled a fresh uncompiled basis from esri, added a new folder, new flex module and retyped the basic test code. Still the same : correct opening of the widget with right layout but then, nothing, not even the basic automations that don't require specific coding. If I copy paste this module in the 3.0 project and compile it, it works like a charm ... :confused: Sorry to bother you with such a problem but the urge to switch our existing widgets to the 3.1 Viewer for Flex is weighting on my back. Thanks for the help, have a nice day ! Pierre ... View more

Hi Robert, Does the 3.1 api requires a version of Flash Builder and/or Flex sdk higher than 4.6 ? I'm facing a strange behaviour : Widgets that runs perfectly well in 3.0 and don't return errors after compilation with 3.1 swc, don't work anymore as I test them in the latest version of the Viewer. To be sure, I've compiled (respectively in 3.0 API and in 3.1 API) the same ultra basic test widget with 2 buttons and a tab navigator (2 pannels). The 3.0 version runs and the buttons appears clickable as well as the automation of the tab switches the pannels correctly. The 3.1 version lets the widget opening and showing the same design but the buttons stay flat and the switching between the pannels don't work. I've verified carefully that there's no mismatch between widget version and Viewer for Flex version, all is quite right. No problem with the Viewer itself too, the genuine esri's widgets are doing their jobs. I'm a bit lost with this 3.1 as I don't encounter any error after compilation nor any info message telling me that I'm doing something wrong ... Thanks for any help ! Have a nice day, Pierre. ...
