Is it possible to set Scale bar in nautical miles\cable units or get link to such widget? Oleg, It's not available in the API, but the skins for the ScaleBar component is available so I think it might be possible to create your won "ScaleBarNauticalSkin". ... View more

does anyone have any idea about how to develop an intersect widget using geoprocessing service????? You could also use the intersect() method of the GeometryService.  https://developers.arcgis.com/flex/api-reference/index.html?com/esri/ags/tasks/GeometryService.html&com/esri/ags/tasks/class-list.html ...

...According to the sample "https://developers.arcgis.com/flex/sample-code/enriching-a-location.htm", I need to use the app login to let client have access to the GeoEnrichment service without login to ArcGIS Online themselves.  It seems I can use a proxy to do that like the sample did. "proxyURL="https://developers.arcgis.com/sproxy/"a But I do not know how to config that proxy. Can anyone tell me how to do that?... To use any of the services that require AGO log in, here are three different options. Have app prompt user to login with their own log ins Use proxy storing a username/password Use proxy storing an app id and clientId/clientSecret You can find a useful proxy at https://github.com/Esri/resource-proxy/. If you go for option 3, you can create app ids at https://developers.arcgis.com/en/applications/ and if you want to read even more about OAuth you can look at https://developers.arcgis.com/authentication/app-logins.html. ...

...sneak peek at the Dev Summit next week, did you find any postings on this via ESRI site? The sessions you are looking for are: "Introduction to the ArcGIS WebApp Builder: JavaScript Apps Made Easy" Tue 1-2pm and Thu 1-2pm "Customizing and Extending the ArcGIS WebApp Builder" Wed 10:30-11:30am and Thu 2:30 to 3:30pm ...

If I don't intend to Edit, is there any advantage to using the FeatureServer over the MapServer resource for a FeatureLayer? No, I don't think so. ... View more

Is it possible, via a widget or other means, to rotate the orientation of my map.  By default north is at the top of the screen but I would like to be able to view my map facing E, S, W and other directions too. Yes. In the viewer you can set the map rotation in the main config file to be whatever you want.  See the documentation at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Map_content/01m30000005p000000/ You could also create your own widget that support changing the rotation interactively.  There's an API sample that does that: https://developers.arcgis.com/flex/sample-code/map-rotation.htm (move the "N" on the rotator circle in the upper left to rotate the map interactively). ...

The layers I have in the editwidget.xml are indeed listed in the editwidget.xml when the widget starts, but they are not visible.  While you can turn on the mapserver layer version of it from the layerlist (outside the edit widget), you cannot select anything to edit it.  I am starting to wonder if the 3.6 version is just plain broken and the functionality was stripped out to add in the ability to use templates. It can be hard to help without having access to the service. Assuming that you can't make it, or a copy, public, you might want to contact Esri Technical Support to have them help work though your setup. If you don't want to do that, here's a few things to try: Use the application builder to set up a simple app using this mapservce. Start with a basic setup before adding all the finetuning options. I didn't understand the part about "listed...but not visible".  Are they not visible on the map, or not in the Edit widget? When you application starts, does the layers you want to edit show in the TOC (or layerlist widget)?  Are they turned on or not? Are there any scale dependency or other things that might impact its visibility? If you look at the network traffic is there anything that's "red" or failing? If you turn on some of the options you've set to false, does it work then?  For example:<addfeatures>false</addfeatures>, <deletefeatures>false</deletefeatures>, <updategeometry>false</updategeometry>. If you have popupconfigs defined for the problem service, try removing that from the main config to see if that might be causing an issue for you. ... View more

It has to be something basic they changed in 10.2/3.6 If so, it's most likely something that changed between 2.5 and 3.0 of the Viewer, than anything on the ArcGIS Server side.  At least that's my guess. Also I have not found anything in the documentation covering it, but it appears you can edit without using featureserver layers now? Why even have the featureserver layers then? Correct, you don't have to add the featurelayers to the operational layers. The way this works is that it looks at the "dynamic" services and checks if there are matching editable "FeatureServices" for those map services. It's documented but maybe not as clear as it could be.  Here's the snippet from the viewer documentation: ...it checks if the operational layer(s) contain dynamic map services. If there are dynamic services, and there are no other matching editable feature layers associated with that service (such as in a feature service), the Edit widget will add those matching feature layers in the widget. This is documented in the "Tip" at the bottom of the Edit widget documentation - http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Edit_widget/01m30000003v000000/. So on the server the FeatureService is still needed, but you don't have specify each layer in your viewer config file. ... View more

Raffi, For issues related specifically to the underlying geocoding service, you might want to ask at the Geocoding forum - http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/94-Geocoding ... View more

1. The geocoder doesnt find a result until the complete street name is entered. For example, this building is located on a four name street name. So in the geocoder if you type "339 Raed Tayar Hassan" it doesn't find the result, until you type the last name of the street like this "339 Raed Tayar Hassan Ahmed" and then it finds it. Maybe your service has changed since you posted, but neither "339 Raed Tayar Hassan" nor "339 Raed Tayar Hassan Ahmed" returns any results when I try directly on the REST page - http://arcgis4.roktech.net/arcgis/rest/services/DigitalEgypt/AllInOne/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates ...

Hi John, Does anyone know if you are limited to the zooming constraints of a WMS file? If you mean WMS service as in the OpenGIS WMS specification, then "no" there should not be any constraints on zooming for the service as a while.  However, individual layers within a map service might have minscale or maxscale set on them. If you mean WMS service in the more generic sense of web map services, then it depends on the service.  For example, services that are based on tiled data are often restricted in applications to only show at the scales/levels they have been created for. When using WMS files in mapping services, the user can only zoom in so far, generally to about 1:1,200. I would like to be able to zoom in closer, say 1:600. What application are you using to view?  Maybe you are using a basemap that is based on tile services, and this might be constraining your specific application of viewing the WMS service... ...
