@Andrea, Are you trying to access the application builder, or an application created with the application builder? The application builder is an AIR application (not a web application, but more of a "desktop" application) and thus does not run in your web browser.  It is accessed from the Start menu (or its non-English equivalent).  You should not be copying AppBuilder.swf anywhere... ...

FYI, since we now have the Flex Viewer source code in GitHub, you can easily see the Chart Widget source code at https://github.com/ArcGIS/ArcGISViewerForFlex/blob/master/src/widgets/Chart/ChartWidget.mxml ... View more

Will the application builder work with custom widgets? Or is there any change you can download the source code for the application builder? This initial release of the application builder does not support adding custom widgets using the application builder, but this functionality is planned for a future release. However, it is possible to "manually" add custom widgets into the main configuration (just like before) and then configure the rest of the application using the application builder. The source code for the application builder is not yet available, but it is something we are planning for future release (that would support custom widgets, localization, widget groups, etc). ...

Does anyone know if I will have issues compiling the viewer on a 64-bit machine and OS. I currently use Flash Builder 4.5. Should work just fine. I've been doing it for quite a while 🙂 ... View more

For complex symbols, there is somtimes a difference between the symbol that ArcGIS Server draws in the server-side created legend, and the (sometime simplified) symbol representation that it reports on the REST Service directory (which I'm guessing is what Robert's widget is using). This symbol mismatch is also true for certain complex symbols if you compare how they look in the Edit Widget (using the REST symbol) and the Legend widget (created server-side). We are working on ways to make that better for 3.0 and ArcGIS 10.1. I'm guessing this might be same issue causing problems for Ashley. ... View more

...seems like most of the upgrades for the 2.4 viewer was intended to be used in conjunction with Server 10.  So I very much would like to revert back to the 2.3 and 2.3.1 versions until someday in the future we move to GIS Server 10. Jim, not really correct. All 2.x releases are intended to be used with ArcGIS 10.0 and be backward compatible with ArcGIS 9.3.  See http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#/System_requirements/017p0000000m000000/ for more details on which feature requires a certain 9.3* or 10.* version. For the sake of using it with 9.3, both 2.3/2.3.1 and 2.4 should work equally well. So if the only reason you are looking for the older source is to have it work with 9.3, then you are just as well (or probably better) off by using the latest version. ... View more

I hate to beat this to death, but does this mean we will not have a Beta? Correct, for 2.5 there will not be a beta. However, there will be a 3.0 beta to support the ArcGIS 10.1 beta. ... View more

A general tip on debugging is to use httpfox (a Firefox plugin) or similar tools to look at the exact response coming. In this case, it shows <ServiceException code="InvalidSRS"> Error occurred decoding the espg code EPSG:102100 No code "EPSG:102100" from authority "European Petroleum Survey Group" found for object of type "IdentifiedObject". </ServiceException> If you are using the ArcGIS Online basemaps as your first service, its wkid is "102100" but this particular projection has several different id's. e.g. 102100, 900913, and 3857. The last one is the official one, but it didn't exist originally so Esri came up with 102100 and Google came up with 900913... To find out which wkid/epsg codes are supported by your WMS service, you can ask for it's "capabilities", like http://maps.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS Notice that 3857 is supported. Add this to your tag as: <layer label="OpenStreetMap" type="wms" visible="true" skipgetcapabilities="true" version="1.1.1"            url="http://maps.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows?"            visiblelayers="openstreetmap"            wkid="3857"/> Note that the response times are super slow (up to 3 minutes) when zoomed out, but improves as you zoom in. ...

The tiles for the NZ map service has been created in a different projection.  You can see this at http://services.arcgisonline.co.nz/ArcGIS/rest/services/LINZ/geotiffs/MapServer where it says "Spatial Reference: 2193". The flex viewer does not re-project cached services. You have two options, the best one is to just use services in that projection, for example: <map wraparound180="true" top="40">     <basemaps>         <layer label="NZ Topo" type="tiled" visible="true" url="http://services.arcgisonline.co.nz/ArcGIS/rest/services/LINZ/geotiffs/MapServer"/>     </basemaps> The other solution is to request a dynamicly created map from the LINZ service. This will not look as good, nor perform as well: <map wraparound180="true" top="40">     <basemaps>         <layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"                url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/>         <layer label="NZ Topo" type="dynamic" visible="false"                 url="http://services.arcgisonline.co.nz/ArcGIS/rest/services/LINZ/geotiffs/MapServer"/>         <layer label="Aerial"  type="tiled" visible="false"                url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer"/>         <layer label="Topo"    type="tiled" visible="false"                url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"/>     </basemaps> (make sure that the NZ service is not listed first, in which case the map will use the LINZ projection and the tiled from ArcGIS Online services will not work) ...

The Flex platform and the ArcGIS API for Flex is not going away�?� Flash is not the same as Flex. While Flash player is going away from mobile web browsers, where it wasn't really used anyway, it is not going away from desktop browsers. Flex can be used to create native (not browser) applications for both iOS and Android, as well as desktop AIR applications for Windows and Mac.  Here�??s the official Adobe blog on it - http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2011/11/flash-to-focus-on-pc-browsing-and-mobile-apps-adobe-to-more-aggressively-contribute-to-html5.html Adobe Flex provides an excellent solution if you're interested in creating mobile applications for both iPad and Android, - see for example http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/whats-new-flex-flash-builder-46.html and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/mobile-development-flex-flashbuilder.html. ...

No, not all KML functionality are supported.  (As a sidenote, but not excuse, the same is true for Google Maps, Google Map API and many other KML readers.)   And you're correct there is not any docuemntation on supported (or non-supported KML features), only that "most things should work".  If you have a problem KML, the best way to report it is to follow the instructions in my August 10 post at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/36062-Flex-API-2.4-KML-support-added-need-sample-of-how-to-add-kml The most common problems I've seen are listed as "Requirements/Limitations" and "Known issues" in that forum post. ...

This was addressed with version 2.4 of the ArcGIS API for Flex that was released in July.  You no longer need to add the mx.swc and the sparkskins.swc files. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#/What_s_new/017p0000000w000000/ ... View more

Is it possible...? Yes, it is possible. Use the <layer> tag: "<layer>  Optional. The default behavior is to use the same map as the main map. Alternatively, set the <layer> tag to display a specific "tiled" or "dynamic" map service in the overview map.
