I want to launch identify widget... using a short cut key without mouse. Is it possible ? Yes, it is possible.  But I'm not familiar enough with the SFV code to tell you where exactly to change actual code. ... View more

Not sure if it may help you, but map navigation using keyboard is already supported for:     * Pan using the arrow keys (keyboardNavigationEnabled).     * Press the + key to zoom in at center of map (keyboardNavigationEnabled).     * Press the - key to zoom out at center of map (keyboardNavigationEnabled). http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/Map.html ...

Yes, you can get the center of the map with map.extent.center. There are examples for parsing the x and y into latlong in both the code for the Coordinate Widget as well as in this API sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=ReadURL ... View more

There is no support in the out-of-the-box Flex Viewer for WFS (i.e. vector data), only for WMS (i.e. image). Same is true for the API. ... View more

The documentation for the Flex Viewer is online at the Resource Center for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.  There's no separate pdf file. You might also like the "Configuring and Customizing the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex" presentation we gave at Esri Developer Summit last month.  Most of the content of that video is not yet part of the flex viewer developer resource center, but should be soon (next month). ...

Andrew, I haven't looked closer at their flash api, I was hoping you had 🙂 Though I'm not surprised that their flash api has less features than their SOAP API... ... View more

The zip file contains a users.xml with what looks like username/password.  If those are real passwords, you might want to remove that file from the download... 🙂 Also, you might want to remove the whole compiled version except for the actual GoogleRouting widget (and its related files).  Most of the time you can assume that people already have the "main" compiled version, and thus are only looking for the files needed by this widget.  Just a suggestion... For the Google directions, are you using the http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/ API?  Did you also look at their flash API (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/reference.html#Directions)? ...

The paths of the widgets (as specified in the config.xml) is not based on the location of the config.xml file, but instead based on the location of the application.  I think in this case that might be your wrapper "another" flex application. You can either set the paths in the config to something that works with relative paths.  Or simply write out the absolute paths with full URLs.  A tool like httpfox/fiddler/charles can be really useful to see what the application is calling (when you think it should be looking elsewhere). By the way, why not simply open the flexviewer itself instead of trying to wrap it inside another flex application? ... View more

Hi Shail. Yes, there is documentation on how to use a proxy to connect to secure services when using the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. The http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#proxy.htm page attempts to describe how to use proxy within the Flex Viewer. Flex Viewer Generally speaking, to add a proxy, use the <httpproxy> tag in the main configuration file to specify your proxy. This proxy works as an "opt-in", so you also need to specify what should be proxied. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#mainconfig.htm For example, for a specific layer you would "opt-in" using <layer ... useproxy="true"/> http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#layer_tag.htm ... and for the widgets that support proxy (Data Extract, GeoRSS, Locate, Query, and Search) you would specify it within the configuration file for that widget <useproxy>true</useproxy> http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#widgets/dataextract_widget.htm http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#widgets/georss_widget.htm etc API & proxy doc The current Flex API docs are about using a proxy for the Flex API.  Not JavaScript API.  However, most of the proxy part applies to both Flex and Javascript applications.   Is there something in http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#proxy.htm that is confusing or not clear? I hope this helps 🙂 ... View more

Is this there some extra step you need to do to get Time Aware layers to work in SDE? No, the steps are the same.  In ArcMap, make sure that both layers were set up the same way and that they both have time enabled. See Enabling time on your data To verify that, you can look at the service directory for the layers in your map service and make sure that they have "Time Info", see for example: http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Earthquakes/EarthquakesFromLastSevenDays/MapServer/0 ...

I am trying to put open street map as one of the basemap option in our application...is OpenStreetMapLayer not available on 1.3...? Correct, the OpenStreetMapLayer was added in version 2.1. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/layers/OpenStreetMapLayer.html ... View more

Yes, it's an issue within the Legend component.  We are planning to fix it for the next release (version 2.3). See also http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/21697-Anno-and-the-Legend-Widget ... View more

The Flex API does not support editing data on pre-10 servers.  This is because these older versions do not support editing through the REST API which is what Flex (and the other ArcGIS Web APIs) use to communicate between the browser application and ArcGIS Server. The easiest solution would be to upgrade the ArcGIS Server to 10.  If you still want to do editing with Flex and 9.3 ... I think some people implemented their own server side components that Flex could talk to, but this would be a fair amount of work.  In addition, even if you created such a component, it's not likely that the Viewer would work with it.  You would probably need to create a custom widget to talk to your custom server endpoint.  Again, upgrading to "10" would make your life a lot easier 🙂 ...

I am having the same problem and am in need of an immediate fix.  Is there a work around for this issue?  Are there other basemaps available that can be used?  If I create my own image service with high resolution aerials we had flown, will this work? Yes, if you create your own service with more detailed info, then there is no problem.  This thread is about showing Bing at sub 1K scales. Also, does anyone know if the extralods widget found in the following forum will work?  http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/13636-Flex-Viewer-2.1-Increase-maximum-zoom As of version 2.2, this is supported out-of-the-box and thus no need for that widget using the <lods> tag.  See under Map at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#mainconfig.htm ...
