Erik, I've replied to your initial question in the new post that you created: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/70008-Confused-need-suggestions-on-best-way-to-consume-my-flex-builder-maps?p=244604&posted=1#post244604 ... View more

I think this is the same question you had in your other post, but I'll just try to answer here. My option #1: smartphone apps Based on your use case, it seems like your field crew would be fine using the "apps" that Esri have created for Android and iPhone/iPad.  See http://resources.arcgis.com/en/communities/smartphone-apps/ for more information on "ArcGIS Application for Android" and "ArcGIS Application for iOS". Create a "Web map" on ArcGIS.com Share the "Web map" Install the "ArcGIS" application on the mobile device. Open the "Web map" inside the "ArcGIS" application on the mobile device. My option #2: browser-based application based on Javascript template Use one of the existing templates on ArcGIS.com. Create a "Web map" on ArcGIS.com Share the "Web map" On ArcGIS.com, "Make a Web Application" using a tablet friendly template like "Simple Map Viewer". Share the application Open the link in a browser on the mobile device. This assumes that you don't want be a developer to solve the problem, in which case Flex, iOS, Android APIs would all be worth looking into. I hope this makes you less confused... 🙂 ... View more

Robert ... Have you ever configured it or have you seen it configured that after the insertion that you could edit the related data tables. I know you asked specifically for Robert's advice, but ... in the 3.1 version (planned for December) there will be better support for related records.  One of them is that you will be able to view them as part of the "regular" pop-up window.  Another is that you will be able to add/update/delete records from a table when editing a feature in a pop-up window. ...

You can't really get the same table/color/alignment, but assuming you are working with the popup configuration file, just list the fields you want to include and don't add a <description> tag.  If there is no <description> tag, the visible fields will be shown in a key-value table format. For example, see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Pop_up_configuration_files/01m30000002q000000/ for something like: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <configuration>     <title>Parcel</title>     <fields>         <field name="APN" visible="true"/>         <field name="OWNER"  alias="Owner" visible="true"/>  <!-- Overwrite alias specified in Map Service -->         <field name="TRACK_DATE">             <format dateformat="shortDateShortTime"/>         </field>     </fields>    </configuration>  ...

While some Android devices currently support Adobe Flash Player, I wouldn't recommend it as Adobe is discontinuing their development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers. Adobe states the following in their road map: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html Mobile Flash Player 11.1 is the last release of the Flash Player plug-in for mobile browsers. ... Adobe continues to actively invest in enabling developers to create and deploy Flash based content as mobile (and desktop) applications via Adobe AIR. Android: Beginning August 15, 2012, the Flash Player plug-in for mobile browsers on Android will only be available on the Google Play Store for devices certified to run Flash Player and which are preinstalled with Flash Player. Flash Player is not supported on Android 4.1 and users should uninstall Flash Player prior to upgrading to Android 4.1. For developers who need ongoing access to released versions of Flash Player for Android, those will remain available in the archive of released Flash Player versions at adobe.com/go/fp_archives. Installations made from the archive will not receive updates through the Google Play Store. You can find more information on the Flash Player plug-in for mobile browsers for Android at adobe.com/go/fp_android_update. Flash Player plug-in for Android is not supported or available for the Google Chrome browser on Android. If you want to use web maps on iOS/Android, you can create Flex Mobile apps that run as "apps" (not in browser). This would require creating/compiling  your own application.  http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Mobile_Samples_Overview/01nq0000006p000000/ http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/concepts/index.html#/Mobile_applications_with_Flex/017p00000025000000/ Or you can use the standard Esri apps for those devices. ...

I'm currently using 2.6. The last 2.x version was ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.5, are you sure you are using 2.6? If you are using 2.5, you don't have to do anything in code.  It's already part of the core, for example: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/live/index.html?extent=9965000,-129000,14206000,2733000 See the doc at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Viewer_URL_parameters/01m300000029000000/ ...

Assuming you are using version 3.0 or later (as "z/m value support in map and feature services" was added at 3.0 [whats new]). ...for each polyline in my mapservice - i need x,y,z values. Can I do this? Yes, the map points of the arrays in the polylines should have a "z" property if your feature layer supports "z". http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/geometry/MapPoint.html#z http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/geometry/Polyline.html#hasZ I can't get geometry property from feature layer because it returns a String value Not sure how you are doing this, but you should be able to get the x/y/z from each feature in your feature layer. ...since new MapPoint takes only x,y... This isn't true (if you are using the 3.0 API), see the http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/com/esri/ags/geometry/MapPoint.html ... View more

I'm trying to add wms service (wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en) to my flexviewer 3.0 web application. I add code displayed below into config file. Do I have to do something else to make this service visible? No, that should be it.  Works fine when I test it         <operationallayers>             <layer label="NRCan"                 type="wms"                 skipgetcapabilities="true"                 url="http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en"                 version="1.1.1"                 visible="true"                 visiblelayers="limits"                 wkid="900913"             />         </operationallayers> What basemaps are you using? (Is it in a different projection than the Esri basemaps?) ... View more

I add code displayed below into config file. Could you share the exact line of your config.xml? Are you sure that URL is a working WMS service? ... View more

I have not tried with "North Pole", but if you load "your" basemap intially OR set the WKID to North Pole, then you should be able to load the ESRI basemap... I think that's a bad idea for several reasons, but the main one is probably that there are no tiles covering the poles. The Web Mercator projection does not cover the whole world, the max latitude shown is about 85 degrees north. ... View more

I still don't see why they would have exclude operational layers in the BaseMapSwitcher widget config file but I'm not going to get bogged down by details .... Just FYI about those details... that is because the Map Switcher Widget (despite its name) control both the basemaps and the operational layer (the "More..." is part of the Map Switcher widget). ...

I have a FLEX application created with the 2.2 ESRI Library. Will my application break if I transfer it to ArcGIS Server 10.1? Probably not. The only forward-compatibility issue in the Flex API I'm aware of is using 1.x to connect to a tiled map service that is from a 10.1 service, but if you are using 2.2 then you should be fine.  However, this is not a use case we have tested extensively. ...

I installed ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.0. The operational layers were from our ArcGIS Server. But the Edit widget shows "No editable layers". What should I do to make editable layers available? If there are editable feature layers, or map services that have a matching feature service, then they should automatically display.  What does the <basemaps> and <operationallayers> tags look like in your config.xml? ...

I saw that a autorefresh function is available for dynamic layers but i was wondering if somehow the same could be accomplished on a feature layer. In the next version, 3.1, layers of type "feature" will  have an autorefresh option. In the 3.0 API this is already supported, so if you are working with the source code of the viewer and compiling it yourself, you could add support for it yourself. ... View more
