This was fixed in version 3.5 of the ArcGIS API for Flex that was released in September. ... View more

Or is it something the flex team are looking at doing (Bjorn)? No, we don't have any plans to support widget groups in the appbuilder. As you know, it's possible with the configuration files already, and it would be a nice feature to add.  The UX for it (in appbuilder) can get a bit tricky though. ... View more

As you've noticed, the Javascript API does not have a direct CompositeSymbol equivalent. Derek wrote up some alternative at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/51513-Custom-marker-symbols?p=176146&viewfull=1#post176146: * Use two points, one with the PictureMarkerSymbol and the other with the TextSymbol. If that's hard to do while moving the icon, you could turn off the TextSymbol while moving. * Use something like Sathya's infoTip sample ... View more

Correct, to store the data, you will need to have an online subscription.

I'm new to ArcGIS server. Since ArcGIS server 10.0 was published 2 years ago, while the Javascript API 3.7 is released just now. I'm not sure if they are compatible with each other. In general, any version of the Javascript API will work with any ArcGIS Server 9.3 or later.  Though certain functionality requires a newer server version, most things will work just fine. ...

1. Can I use the World geocoding service without an online account? The link you posted gives me results, implying that it would not be required. Yes, you can use it without an online account.

What else I need to check? or Is there any way I can troublshoooooting this? What version is your server?

I think you're right, but I'm curious if you just want to hide the "non-metric" ones? (which I think is the most common scenario). Or do you want even more fine-grained control? ... View more

It's just that specific service that is being replaced.  Not the general capabilities or methods.  The new service is the World Geocoder service on http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer.  You can read more at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/#/Overview_of_the_World_Geocoding_Service/02r300000009000000/ For example, http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates?Address=380+New+York+Street&City=Redlands&State=CA&Zip=92373&f=json&pretty=true The longer answer is in this blog article from April this year - http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/04/08/legacy-geocoding-and-routing-services-at-httptasks-arcgisonline-com-will-be-retired-on-december-31-2013/ ...

If you want to upgrade 2.x code to 3.x, the best starting point (in addition to trying and then interpret error messages), is probably https://developers.arcgis.com/en/flex/guide/migrating-to-3-x.htm From that page and related to your error: On the GeometryService, the input parameter for the project() method is now projectParameters instead of geometries. This also allows for specifying datum transformations (requires ArcGIS 10.1 for Server). ... View more

This doesn't answer your question, but ... if possible, you might want to use a scale bar instead of a 1:scale.  This way it would be less confusing and would be correct on both your computer screen, a projected big screen and printed out. ... View more

I'm trying run the widgets in 3.5 but i am running into an error on geometryService.project([p2 as Geometry], map.spatialReference); Implicit coercion of a value of type com.esri.ags:SpatialReference to an unrelated type com.esri.ags.tasks.supportClasses:ProjectParameters. GoogleRoutingWidget.mxml Sounds like maybe you are using a widget compiled for 2.x with 3.x.  Where did you download this widget (the item mentioned above does not seem accessible any more)? ...
