Albert, I'm not able to reproduce your "shift" issue, nor the issue in that NIMBUS bug. But a general tip if you're having problems with WMTS is to use the more generic (and more forgiving) WebTiledLayer that was introduced with 3.1 (end of last year). http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/WebTiledLayer.html Also, if you want to access the specific service "ESRI WorldTimeZones" (or any other ArcGIS Server hosted service), it's usually better to access it using ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer (instead of WMTS). If you have a specific non-ArcGIS service that you have problems with accessing, assuming it's publicly available, please share the specific URL and someone here might be able to help. ... View more

...is not working because AllowedValues is REST and not RESTful? Correct, only allowed values are "KVP" or "RESTful". See http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/WMTSLayer.html#serviceMode ...No event is fired. In version 3.4, the API will throw a load error for unsupported serviceMode values. ... View more

I'd like to create a layer from [some data].  What are my options?  GraphicsLayer?  FeatureLayer? Yes (both). Or a custom layer that extends either of those.  Using a FeatureLayer and it's feature collection is probably one of the first options you should look into.  There's a sample for that: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Time_rendered_5K_run_gpx/01nq0000002r000000/ That specific sample also deals with time-awareness, but if you simplify it and parse your json instead of gpx, you should be able to get your json point data onto the map. ...

esri:extent doesn't have anything to do with this.  It's the locator that needs to have those fields. Are you using the Geocoder to search a locator service or a map service? Is your geocode service publicly available?  If not, probably best to work with Esri Support to work through your specific issue. ... View more

Here's the draft doc for the next release: Map navigation using keyboard: Press the + key to zoom in at center of map (keyboardNavigationEnabled). Press the - key to zoom out at center of map (keyboardNavigationEnabled). Pan using the arrow keys (keyboardNavigationEnabled). Pan using the numeric keypad: 1 or End key for panning down-left, 2 or down arrow for panning down, 3 or Page Down key for panning down-right, 4 or left arrow for panning left, 6 or right arrow for panning right, 7 or Home key for panning up-left, 8 or up arrow for panning up and 9 or Page Up key for panning up-right (keyboardNavigationEnabled). Press the "f" key to zoom to initial extent (keyboardNavigationEnabled). I think that is all the formerly undocumented keyboard shortcut keys 🙂 ... View more

Some are listed on the Map Component API reference: ( but it does not seem to be a complete list ) http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/Map.html Which ones are you missing from the doc?  (In addition to the "f" which does a "zoomToInitialExtent()" and is already mentioned in this thread?) ...

Shaun, This might be related to https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-viewer-flex/issues/142. Could you test with 3.2 and/or share a config.xml that I can verify the upcoming 3.4 release with? ... View more

Are you using the compiled Edit Widget or have you modified it in same way? Most likely there is something different or special with your feature service.  If the service is public, can you share the URL? Also, try with some of the sampleserver to make sure they work for you (thus making it more likely there is something specific with your service or server that is causing the issue): http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Wildfire/FeatureServer http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/BloomfieldHillsMichigan/LandusePlanning/FeatureServer http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/RedlandsEmergencyVehicles/FeatureServer You might want to compare the settings of these services with yours. Also, if you could capture the exact REST request and response when it fails for you, that might be helpful to solve the problem.  You can use firebug/httpfox/fiddler/charles to find this out if you are familiar with these tools. ...

I'm not 100% sure it's the same issue, but we had a dependency on the name of the data frame in ArcMap (which ends up within the TPK file).  It only worked if the data frame is named "Layers". This will be fixed for the next release (3.4). NIM092226: .tpk files are not working in Flex AIR application using ArcGISLocalTiledLayer if the dataframe name in the original .mxd file is other than "Layers". ... View more

I would like to add codes to search so able to perform similar way when type on a text box. If you have a service with these codes (in a field), then the header search should work fine. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something... ... View more

I have developed some of applications on Flex 3 using API 1.3, now I'm going to migrate from ArcGIS 10 to ArcGIS 10.1 , so I need to know if it is probable that I will have trouble with some classes or functions included in the older API.  I think that it will probably work fine -  using 1.3 API and 10.1 server.  See http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/72880-Can-Flex-Viewer-1.x-access-ArcGIS-Server-10.1 Should I migrate my applications to API 3.3? While you don't need to, it might be a good idea. Version 1.x is no longer supported by Esri and most people on the forum are using version 3.x.  If you are just planning to change a URL to point to the new server, staying with 1.x might make sense. But otherwise, my recommendation would be to go with the latest API. http://support.esri.com/en/content/productlifecycles http://downloads.esri.com/support/product%20life%20cycle/online_gis/ArcGISWebMappingAPIs_PLC.pdf ...

In general it depends on what code/functionality you are trying to transfer to the flex viewer.  Often it already has the functionality, so there is nothing to do (except learning how to use it).  When adding new code is required, most people create a widget as a way to add their functionality.  This encapsulates it nicely and makes it easy to upgrade to newer versions. Sometimes people tweak an existing widget if it's already close to what they are looking for. Other times it's better to start from scratch (or with the Hello World sample). It really depends on what you are trying to do in a specific case. ... View more
