You can create an MXD/MSD, then publish it as a Map Service. Your application can keep track of the different extents and different layers to turn on/off. One note on the latter.  I'm not sure what your data looks like, but if for example you have multiple layers of the same type (but different places), e.g. "my data for place A", "my data for place B", then you could create a group layer and have them all turned on.  When you're in the wrong area, you wouldn't know/see if the other layers are on/off. And your application would not have to take care of which layers to turn on for which extent.  Not sure if this makes sense to you, but for some apps I've seen this changed structure in the MXD made the application much more straight-forward. ...

The "esri:Map" takes care of asking the additional servers for images in the appropriate spatial reference.  You do not have to project an extent or anything like in the CustomSR example, if all you want to do is put an ArcIMS/WMS service on top of a tiled Web Mercator map. For example, this map puts a dynamic service (by default in geographic coordinates) and put it correctly on top of a Web Mercator base map: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=MapCombo ...

The easiest is probably to use different main configuration files based on their roles, for example: index.html?config=config_admin.xml vs index.html?config=config_readonly.xml ... View more

Yes, this is supported in 2.3.1.  You just need to change the wkid in your example.  You can't force the WMS server to use a WKID it doesn't support.  Instead you tell it to use an ID that it does understand - 900913 (Google's ID for Web Mercator). <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" /> ...

Rashid, if your question is not related to this thead (how to open a PDF via a link), you might want to post a new thread. This will increase your chances of getting an answer as well as better organize threads in general and therefor help other people looking for answers 🙂 Go to http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/111-ArcGIS-Viewer-for-Flex (if it's related to the Flex Viewer), or http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/18-ArcGIS-API-for-Flex (if it's more of an API question), click the "Post New Thread" link at the top right of the page. ...

I also have a crossdomain.xml located on the server hosting the flexviewer application. Ivan, the crossdomain.xml file needs to be on the server with the feed, not on the server with the flexviewer application. Jeff, where did you put the crossdomain file?  If the data is coming from http://inciweb.org/feeds/rss/incidents/, then the crossdomain file needs to be at http://inciweb.org/crossdomain.xml. "This is most likely a cross-domain issue. This will happen if you are connecting from a Flash application to resources on another domain. Either have the application hosted on the same domain as the resource (usually the ArcGIS Server) or add a crossdomain.xml to your ArcGIS Server." http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/FAQ/01m300000004000000/ Also see the API help for more details: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#/Using_crossdomain_xml/017p0000001w000000/ ...

Not in one call.  You can only query against one layer at a time, but you could send multiple requests to achieve your multiple layer query functionality. You might also want to look at FindTask and IdentifyTask.  They both work with a mapservice (as opposed to a layer within a mapservice like Query).  Depending on what/how you want to query, they might be helpful. ...

We are still in the process of verifying 4.5 support.  We should have a full report next week. If you want to be on the safe side, I'd recommend holding off. As for the SDK: As of now, the ArcGIS API for Flex seems OK with it, but in your applications there might be code that needs updating.  If you are using the source code of the Viewer, I would recommend you stick with 4.0 or 4.1 for now. As for the IDE: It should probably be OK with Flash Builder 4.5, assuming that you use an SDK version as described above.  But again, we are still in the process of testing and verifying. ...

The viewer application already has a map.  So you shouldn't add <esri:Map ...> in your widget. In the Developer Guide, there is a page called Create your own widget On that page the following two sections might be useful: * If your widget needs to get hold of the map... * If your widget wants to add a graphics layer. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Create_your_own_widget/01m300000010000000/ ...

Sorry for the slow response on this - and the bad news. It seems that Google no longer support georss as an output format, see http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/maps/thread?tid=2fd831d021abeb46&hl=en.  If I understand it right, they now only support KML - which is a data format not currently supported in the Flex API/Viewer.  Support for KML/KMZ is however something we are planning on implementing for our next release. ...

John, any specific reason why you're not using the out-of-the-box GeoRSS Widget? Even if you don't want to use it, it might be a better starting point for your own custom georss widget than the API sample.... -Bjorn ... View more
