3.0 Map Switcher widget ... thumbnails ... how can I set/change them? If you are using the application builder, it's part of the "edit" options for a layer. Or as you already found out, the <layer> tag has an icon property. I don't see the icon mentioned in the "Main configuration file" or the "Layer tag" reference pages, so it appears to be missing. That is our mistake. We will add it to the documentation for the <layer> tag. Thanks for letting us know 🙂

Another option you might want to consider is adding it as a layer, either as an individual layer or as part of a map service. In both cases you can create popups for it so that users can click on them for more information.

Can anybody help me with experience how to upgrade earlier widgets for the viewer to v3.0? They are not opening on click. just found the information for upgrading your viewer code that should at least solve the opening, all others I have to see once I get them started. Another good page would be the "What's New in 3.0 API" - http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/concepts/index.html#/What_s_new_in_ArcGIS_API_3_0_for_Flex/017p0000000w000000/

You are supposed to be able to do this two different ways, but neither one is working properly. Neither server side when you publish the print service, nor clientside. Serverside: See http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Tutorial_Publishing_additional_services_for_printing/0154000005n1000000/ "Due to a known limitation with the Export Web Map tool in 10.1, you cannot filter the parameter choices available to end users. You can hide a parameter completely from end users and force them to use the default by setting the parameter's Input mode to Constant value." Client-side: The same is true client-side. Despite the tag reference in the resource center is hinting at how it should work, but it doesn't seem to work that way (yet). But if you want to "hardcode" it and not make it show up in the widget, then you could use something like: <layouttemplates visible="false">A4 Portrait</layouttemplates> http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Print_widget_tags/01m30000001n000000/

...in which line of code it is read? Can you hint this point? It is part of the server side print task which automatically reads it from the service metadata. I'm not familiar enough with the server side print task, but the important part to understand is that it is not on the client/browser/API side.

How can this be easily coded? There is no easy way to code that. Is there any good sample? There is no sample. In theory, you might be able to figure You would have to add the image/text as a graphics layer (in the right map location). The easier, and better, way is to use ArcMap to create a custom layout that already has your image/text in the proper location. See your/our other forum post at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/62788-3-content-issues

The reference you provided is about the layout. My Q's are related to some information displayed in the printed map, rather than related to layout. Hi Shaning, Maybe I'm still misunderstanding it, but the main thing being sent from the print widget to the print task on the server is just the list of layers to print and the extent. No widgets, scale bar etc. So to answer your three questions: 1) The North Arrow cannot be added and included from the web clients when using the standard print service. You would have to create your own print layout in ArcMap. 2) The ruler by the Coordinates cannot be included from the web clients when using the standard print service. You would have to create your own print layout in ArcMap. 3) The source text cannot be customized from the web clients. It is automatically retrieved from the map service "Copyright Text", see for example bottom of http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer Hope this helps...

Assuming you are using the 3.0 PrintWidget and ArcGIS Server printing... The PrintingTools service included with ArcGIS for Server references a preconfigured folder with eight map layouts. If you want to use your own layouts, you can publish your own service for printing web maps. You configure this service to reference your own map layouts. See "Using your own layouts for printing": http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Using_your_own_layouts_for_printing/01540000057v000000/

If you created a feature service by publishing a hosted feature service through a subscription to ArcGIS Online, then it's just like any other feature layer. See "Publishing a hosted feature service using a shapefile or CSV file" (note this requires an account that is part of an ArcGIS Online organization). http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/index.html#/Publishing_a_hosted_feature_service_using_a_shapefile_or_CSV_file/010q0000006m000000/ To get the underlying URL of that feature service, look at the metadata page for the feature service (from your content page), then click the link under "Layers" - that will show the service directory page.

Is there a way to change the layout of the templates? Yes, using skins. You can change the skin of the TemplatePicker from the default "TemplatePickerSkin" to either the "simple" TemplatePickerSimpleSkin provided or edit the skin to you liking. In your case, the provided "simple" skin might be pretty close to what you want. <fx:Style> @namespace esri "http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"; esri|TemplatePicker { skinClass: ClassReference("com.esri.ags.skins.TemplatePickerSimpleSkin"); } </fx:Style> You can read more about skinning on http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/concepts/index.html#/Styling_and_skinning_overview/017p0000001s000000/ The skins are listed in the API Reference http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/index.html?com/esri/ags/skins/package-detail.html&com/esri/ags/skins/class-list.html and are available in the "API Library download" (with the swc) See for example TemplatePickerSimpleSkin - Alternative skin class for the TemplatePicker component which does not group feature templates by feature layers. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/apiref/index.html?com/esri/ags/skins/package-detail.html&com/esri/ags/skins/class-list.html

Another easy way to figure this out is to use the application builder, select the Web Map you want, then click "Switch to Basemaps & Operational Layers", click "Save". The config.xml file will now have the layer tag for you.

<mx:VBox verticalScrollPolicy="on" width="100%" height="100%" > ...... But the verticalscrollbar does not work. How to make it work? I don't know why that isn't working, but (depending on which Flex SDK Version you are using)... any reason you couldn't sparkify the widget and remove the mx? That's what we been doing in the Flex Viewer source code - using Spark and <s:Scroller> instead of mx. See for example the source code for the Bookmark Widget: https://github.com/ArcGIS/ArcGISViewerForFlex/blob/master/src/widgets/Bookmark/BookmarkWidget.mxml Read more about the Scroller component on http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WSb04c7610c3432839-13869d09121418556f1-7ffc.html

Hi, Can some one post me the steps to add bing locator to ArcGIS sharepoint. please provide bing locator service as well. Its pretty urgent. Thanks. You'll probably get more SharePoint help on the ArcGIS for Sharepoint forum ... but my understanding is that Bing locator services are not supported out-of-the-box with ArcGIS for Sharepoint. The workaround for integrating Bing geocoding with ArcGIS for Sharepoint would be to develop an add-in for the Map Web Part.

Thanks Bjorn, I have not had any success with the Aliases set up in sde database showing up in the viewer. They show up when I am in the .mxd but will not show in the flex web map. Any idea on why they won't relate? I'm assuming you mean field aliases. When you publish the Map Service, does it get listed as aliases in the Service Directory? See for example http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/SF311/FeatureServer/0 req_type ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: Request Type , editable: true , nullable: true , length: 40 ) This where the Flex application will get the aliases from... If this doesn't help you, is your map service publicly available?
