No, you cannot use Javascript widgets inside the Flex Viewer (nor vice versa). However, take a look at this "Map Your Point Data" application which sounds like it has the functionality you are asking for (in a Flex Viewer widget): http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fabdd320b0724ab2957c7af297008d89

Last week tasks.arcgisonline.com was upgraded to ArcGIS Server 10 which adds two great capabilities: single-line geocoding and being able to set the outSpatialReference. In addition, two new services were added with support for single-line geocoding. TA_Address_NA_10 TA_Streets_US_10. Both of these support single-line geocoding (i.e. one address field, instead of one street field, one city field etc). The existing 2.2 Locator Widget already has support for single-line geocoding. Since the default is to use a single-line geocoder if it exist, simply point it to the new service(s) to start taking advantage of single-line geocoding in your locate widget. For example, for the new US locator: <locator>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/TA_Address_US_10/GeocodeServer</locator> If you do not want the single-line geocoder, but still want the new Locator, add <usesingleline>false</usesingleline> Another enhancement with the updated tasks.arcgisonline.com is that now all its Locators support outSpatialReference. This means that instead of receiving the location in latlong and having to project it, you can now ask for it to be returned directly in whatever projection you want (for example Web Mercator). http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/tasks/Locator.html#outSpatialReference

As for the release of 2.3, it is currently planned for early April. And yes, it will include "wraparound" (see attached screenshot).

I'll try to remember to update this thread as well as making sure it get's included in the "What's New" in both the documentation as well as the blog post we post when we release a new version.

Thanks for pointing this out. After looking at it closer, it seems the problem in this case is that the metadata that Bing returns is announcing that they have 19 levels. When in fact on their own website they are using 20 levels. We'll follow up with Microsoft about this.

Is there a way to have the Coordinate Widget display two data formats on the output? I would like to be able to display dms and geo by default. No, not out of the box. Unless you use two coordinate widgets (same swf, but two different xml files)...

Billy, if you get a zip file then your data extract widget is most likely pointing to a 10 server. If the file is empty, my first guess would be that there was no data to extract where you tried it. Try zooming out to the whole world (or whatever area you "know" has the data to be extracted). To extract data from your own service, yes you will need ArcGIS Server 10, because the widget works with a "Clip and Ship" geoprocessing service that was new in "10". The documentation has more details on the Data Extract widget: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#widgets/dataextract_widget.htm

... for whatever reason, the Flex API team didn't build their application they way they built their samples or the way they teach their clients to build theirs. For example, in the samples and the course, you learn to add your maps in an mxml file; in the Viewer, you add them in the config.xml file. FYI - the reason that the Flex Viewer is different is because its main purpose is to support non-Flex developer to easily configure web mapping applications. Since they don't compile the Flex Viewer, there needed to be a different way of reading their settings (than from mxml), thus the configuration files for the Flex Viewer. how do I take that next step and learn how to take code from the samples and integrate them into the Viewer's source code? It depends on what you are trying to do. Most people create widgets to add new functionality. You might already have seen the "Your Own Widget" documentation at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#developers/hellowidget.htm. Note the "requirements/skills" at the top of the page. If you feel like you need more Flex training, I recommend the "Flex in a Week" video training from Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html I would also recommend the Creating a Custom Widget video 🙂

Just a general comment - all the tags and properties that you specify in the xml files are lowercase. So while it's good to look at the documentation, as for the casing, all the tags are all lowercase 🙂

Is there a way to alter the default values...? No. You'll have to do it for every service.

‎02-15-2011

By default, the server does not allow dynamic maps larger than 2048x2048 pixels. However, this is configurable on your ArcGIS Server. To change the max size for a specific service, on the server do the following: 1. Stop ArcGIS Server SOM/SOC. 2. Open the cfg file for the service (usually under arcgis\server10.0\server\user\cfg). 3. Change the value for the following: <MaxImageWidth>2048</MaxImageWidth> <MaxImageHeight>2048</MaxImageHeight> 4. Start ArcGIS Server SOM/SOC. From the References->FAQ in the API Help Did your changes maybe not "kick in" when you tried that?

Not in the out-of-the-box ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. However, some people have added this custom functionality and been nice enough to share it 🙂 See for example the "Enhanced Bookmark Widget": http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ed4d8dbef33d400499d2cc6475f24a4e

Yes, you are correct: "Each layer's legend information includes the symbol images and labels for each symbol". See http://help.arcgis.com/EN/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/index.html?mslegend.html for more details about the REST Legend resource. The Legend component in the Flex API is using the REST Legend resource. I'm not sure I correctly understood your comment about the Service Directory, but you could have a short name as the "name" and a longer description in the "Description" field. Not sure if this was helpful as anything more than "yes, you're correct"... 🙂

Abu, one alternative would be to use UniqueValueRenderer. It supports multiple attributes. Depending on your actual data, since it's using unique values instead of the ranges used by ClassBreaksRenderer you might have to classify your data for this solution to work. Or maybe just create a new attribute with your "MIN_P_ALL"*p formula (and keep using ClassBreaksRenderer).

I think enabling securing on your ArcGIS Server should be enough in this case.
