Which versions of the Esri API and Adobe SDK are you using? That specific blog article was written before 2.x of the ArcGIS API for Flex existed, and before the 4.x versions of Adobe Flex SDK were released. ... View more

The application does not know that the data behind the feature layer has been updated.  You can refresh it (too re-grab the data) by using the refresh method: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/FeatureLayer.html#methodSummary ... View more

an event layer get generated from x,y file.. Data Type: XY Event Source What version of server are you using? There was a bug related to event geometries not being returned in the requested spatial reference.  This issue was fixed in ArcGIS Server 10.0 SP2 and 9.3.1 SP2 QIP.

I'm not familiar with a transparency widget, but in general (for TOC etc) you have two options: add multiple layers of type "dynamic" (and set the visiblelayers property to an individual sublayer) or use multiple layers of type "feature" (which always only point to individual sublayers). The main difference between these is that the "dynamic" maps are drawn on the server and sent to your browser as an image, while for "feature" the features are sent from the server as features, then drawn in the browser. Note that currently (ArcGIS 10.0), the REST API doesn't support changing transparency on sub-layers, which is why you have to ask for multiple layers separately if you want them to have different transparencies (on-the-fly).  With the next release of ArcGIS, 10.1, this might change. ...

Do you mean just one of the <operationallayers>, or the basemap plus that operational layer? If users turn off the layer in the TOC, what would you want the overview map to do? ... View more

You can modify the text that shows up after the layer name using the configurable <featurelayernotvisibletext> label in the Edit widget configuration file. "<featurelayernotvisibletext> - Label to display when a feature layer is not visible (default for English is "feature layer is either not visible or out of scale range")." http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Edit_widget/01m30000000v000000/ ...

Unfortunately the  HTML Popup Type set up in ArcMap is not automatically used.  The best way is probably to configure the pop-up in the flex viewer.

Hello Gottsegen 🙂 I have a dynamic map service with 11 layers. I'm trying to display one layer in flex viewer. To draw just some layers within a mapservice, use the visiblelayers property (a comma-separated list): <layer label="Regions" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="0.5" visiblelayers="2" url="http://10.9.5.18/ArcGIS/rest/services/regions_gov_office_OED/MapServer"/> http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/The_Layer_tag/01m30000000p000000/ ...

Im not exactly sure which version the current application is You can right-click the map and select "About ArcGIS API for Flex..." and "About ArcGIS Viewer for Flex..." to find out which versions of these your application is using.  If it doesn't mention the Viewer, then it's not using any supported version of the "ArcGIS Viewer for Flex". The 1.x and 2.x versions do not play well together becasue they are based on sufficiently different versions of Adobe Flex SDK.  The following links might help you find a 2.x version of that widget: http://geoportal.sourceforge.net/ http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/11806-flex-4-geoportal-toolkit-extension-widget http://geoportal.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geoportal/components/flex/ ...

It shouldn't make a difference whether the FeatureLayer is based on a MapService or a FeatureService. The key aspect is how the service directory presents the symbology. The FeatureLayer gets the information from the symbol metadata which you can see on the layer page in the service directory. For example for http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/TaxParcel/AssessorsParcelCharacteristics/MapServer/2 Commercial Apartment Vacant Description: Symbol: Simple Fill Symbol: Style: esriSFSSolid, Color: [254, 177, 25, 255] Outline: Simple Line Symbol: Style: esriSLSSolid, Color: [156, 156, 156, 255], Width: 1 I think the key is  how the symbol was defined in the MXD (and then represented on the server).  The REST documentation, http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/symbol.html#sfs, lists what is supported (in REST): "style" : "< esriSFSBackwardDiagonal | esriSFSCross | esriSFSDiagonalCross | esriSFSForwardDiagonal | esriSFSHorizontal | esriSFSNull | esriSFSSolid | esriSFSVertical >", Your first step should probably be to set up a service where the Service Directory lists one of these hatch patterns. ...
