I am primarily wondering why ESRI decided to do this. Is there an advantage that I am missing or was this an over site and should it be looked at or should there be an additional object that contains the fields we need in the IdentifyResult object. It has just always been a frustrating part of the code to deal with. Yes, that part can be frustrating. No, you're not missing anything (I think).  I'm not sure why it was decided that way 6+ years ago. I think that originally the "identify" was meant just as a way to quickly get some reasonably formatted information for a click-on-the-map.  But as you, and most other have found out, you rather have it return the real field names, so that you can do "more stuff". This is why most people use the "Query" instead of "Identify" to do the identifying-on-map.  The "Query" does pretty much the same, plus more and better. So except for that it only works on one individual layer at a time, it is usually the better option. ... View more

Thank you for reporting this issue.  This has been fixed in the daily builds - https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-viewer-flex/commit/5736effbb3cf707e890281dffaa10b1127a68b09, as well as in the live sample at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/live/index.html ... View more

Are you saying here that, my instance of ArcGIS Server does not support the offline editing, but will in the 10.2.1 release? Yes.  (Well, technically there was already partial support).  The complete offline editing story will indeed require ArcGIS 10.2.1 (or ArcGIS Online). And when that happens, the Flex team will be able to add this functionality to the API? It would be possible, but we don't have any plans to do that. See below. ArcGIS Server 10.2.1 will have better support for sync and offline editing.  This is the server version that is required by the Runtime SDKs (released yesterday) to do offline editing.  Yesterday's releases of iOS and Androids SDK have BETA functionality for offline editing. Ref: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/ios/info/what-s-new-10-2-.htm and https://developers.arcgis.com/en/android/whats-new.html Like I mentioned before, we no longer have any plans to add this functionality to the ArcGIS API for Flex.  Our original plan was indeed to support it within the API once the server side fully supported it, so I don't think it was "false assurances". Those were our plans back then, but sometime plans change. ... View more

Is there an answer to this?  USGS is phasing out the xml feed.  I am trying to use their new ATOM feed, the points display but I can't get the title, etc. to display.  The URL I am using is this:   http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.atom The support for different GeoRSS feeds was improved a few .versions ago. What version are you using? Did you try with http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week ? It seems to work for me in version 3.5 at least. Another think to keep in mind is that GeoRSS is also supported as a layer type (if you just want to show them on the map, and not have each item listed in the GeoRSS widget. ... View more

I am looking for a simple password splash screen.  ... Are there any simple solutions to this? One good solution is to take advantage of the security options in your web server.  The details would depend on if you're using IIS, Apache, etc. A very basic, simple, but not secure, option would be to just have a javascript prompt on startup check if they know the password. This might suffice for some scenarios. ... View more

I might have to call them and put in a trouble ticket. In order to do that I would have to re-install 3.5 and show them it does not work causing my 3.4 applications to not be editable. Contacting support might be the easiest way to figure out why you installation isn't working for you. Here some things you might want to try as well: Does the "Preview" screen displays blank or is there some sort of error message? What happens on the "Design" tab? When you click the Application URL on the "Preview", does it open a browser?  If so, if you look at the network traffic, is there any requests at all? What does your config.xml look like? Is there anything "custom" in the configuration files that you've edited outside the application builder? ... View more

...I want to change the skins of the panel We released version 3.5 yesterday and it has improved CSS styling of the panel divider. Before it was hardcoded yellow, now it depends on the color you use for your application.  If this is the change you needed, then you just have to upgrade to 3.5.  If not, what specific change were you thinking about? https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-viewer-flex/issues/195 ...

Any update on API (Flex 3.4, JavaScript 3.6) supporting WFS? No, no change in that regards. The API supports WMS and WMTS, but not WFS. If you're interested in WFS support, you might want to add your vote to http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000bteYAAQ ("Add a WFSLayer to the web APIs" created by Mattias). Also, specify if you're looking for read-only access or WFS-T (transactional support). The latter is more complicated. Also, which sort of specific WFS servers/software you need access to, because different WFS implementations tend to be a bit different from each other, making it hard to support all possible flavors. ...
