Is it possible for the users still to have the access to the help and examples for 2.3.X? We try to as clearly as possible mark the documentation with whatever changes have been made (and at which version). So you should be able to use the current documentation even for older 2.x version. For example, in "The Layer tag" it says: * kml: a KML feed. [Added in version 2.4] An alternative if you really want to see the doc as it was when we released a specific version, is to get the DVD for the ArcGIS API/Viewer of Flex. You can order the DVD from Esri Customer Services (call or go to http://service.esri.com).

"The KMLLayer is used to create a layer based on a publicly accessible KML file (.kml,.kmz)." http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/KMLLayer.html Thus, localhost and KMLs sitting on internal networks will not work. The KML needs to be publicly accessible. What's happening behind the scenes is that we use a utility "converter" service to convert the KML to ArcGIS REST-like features. The same service is used by both Flex and Javascript Web APIs.

This fix will be part of the next release of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. One work-around that might help you in the meantime (if you're not OK with using fewer fields, nor with compiling the source code), is to use the <description> tag. From the documentation on Pop-up configuration files: "By default the pop-up window shows the visible fields in a key-value styled table. Alternatively, you can use the <description> tag to present it in a different manner, for example in a sentence or paragraph structure" http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/#/Pop_up_configuration_files/01m30000002q000000/

...are the bugs being worked out for some of the public kml/kmz files that will not load Yes, please see my response on your other KML thread (as well as how to best report "problem" KML): http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/36062-Flex-API-2.4-KML-support-added-need-sample-of-how-to-add-kml

... look foward to better KML support when it comes out. If you had a KML file that didn't work properly, please try again. The KML support has been improved. You don't need to do anything to take advantage of it. No need to recompile etc. It is the underlying utility service we are using that has been updated. BTW, if you have a URL that still doesn't work with the 2.4 Flex API/Viewer, go to http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html and try to add it there (Add -> Add Layer from Web -> KML). If it fails there too, click the "Contact Us" link on the bottom left of the page and report that the KML doesn't work. Don't forget to include the URL of the KML file.

when I try to acess KML's served locally on the GIS server through IIS, the viewer returns "Layer failed to load..." What's the URL of your KML/KMZ? It needs to be a publicly accessible URL...

‎08-07-2011

The scalebar without distances is usually related to spatial references and/or units not being available to the Map component. What's the URL of your initial <layer>? What "Units" and "Spatial Reference" are in the service directory metadata for your initial basemap?

If you are asking in regards to the Viewer, then "no". Sorry. But the API has a diagram showing all the API classes: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#/ArcGIS_API_for_Flex_diagram/017p0000001v000000/

Cannot resolve attribute 'layoutDirection' for ... Christopher, it looks like you are compiling with Adobe Flex 4.0 SDK. Starting with version 2.4 you need to use version 4.1 or higher. From the What's New in 2.4 Viewer (under "General Changes"): Compiling the source code [for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex] requires Adobe Flex 4.1 or above. This is to support Arabic and other right-to-left locales. Note that the API itself still works with 4.0, 4.1 as well as 4.5. It's also mentioned briefly in the "Upgrading your viewer Code": In version 2.4 of the Viewer, Adobe Flex 4.1 SDK is the minimum SDK version to compile with.

Correct - there are still mx dependencies for certain components and/or skins. The main mobile difference for version 2.4 (in regards to compiling) is that the Map component no longer is mx-dependent.

I am not seeing how to configure the Clustering on feature layers, am I overlooking something ? It hasn't made it in to the <layer> tag documentation yet, but there is a clustering sample listed on the "Samples" page. I created a new thread with some examples - http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/35995-Clustering-in-viewer-2.4. Please use it for more questions on the existing clustering support (or wait for the documentation to be updated next week) 🙂 Note that the clustering shows symbols of different size (or not), but that the symbols are not clickable at this time, i.e. no "flare symbol" for version 2.4. For the next release, we are looking at adding "flare" symbols that both show the individual symbol as well as its pop-up window...

It hasn't made it in to the <layer> tag documentation yet, but there is a sample called "Clustering" listed on the "Samples" page. Here are some examples of how to take advantage of the new <clustering> functionality in flex viewer 2.4. Basic example: <layer label="Simple, same-sized circles (default color green)" type="feature" url="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/MapServer/0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_311.xml" visible="true"> <clustering> <clustersymbol type="simple"/> </clustering> </layer> The example from the online sample: <layer label="San Franscisco 311" type="feature" url="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/MapServer/0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_311.xml" visible="true"> <clustering mingraphiccount="2" sizeinpixels="80"> <clustersymbol type="simple" alpha="1" alphas="0.7,0.8,1" bordercolor="0xFFFFFF" color="0xFF4242" colors="0xFF837E,0xFF4242,0xFF4242" flaremaxcount="10" size="90" sizes="30,60,90" textcolor="0x000000" textsize="14" weights="10,100,200"/> </clustering> </layer>

Go to the resource center at http://links.esri.com/flexviewer, click the "Download Viewer" link on the right side of the page (under Quick Links).
