Actually, for the 2.1 viewer only English is fully supported.  (The Flex API is available in 6 languages, but for most widgets there were more things to translate). In Flex Viewer version 2.1, almost all labels are configurable in the individual configuration xml files.  The "labels" to translate are documented for each widget, see for example: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html?widgets/search_widget.htm In Flex Viewer version 2.2, we plan to provide full support for six languages. Also in 2.2, it will be easier to localize the Flex Viewer for additional languages.  There will only be one single file to translate.  This would still require compiling the source code.  If you are not compiling the source code, the solution for 2.2 would be the same as for 2.1 (except we'll be adding support for a few strings that were missed in 2.1). You might want to ask/push your local distributor to work with Esri, Inc. to add support for your language 🙂 Which languages are you looking for? ... View more

Setting the "panEasingFactor" is not an option that is available thru default configuration xml files, though this widget might help: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=4837907e122246a893c9746a018fcd38 If you are working with API, it's a property on Map. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/com/esri/ags/Map.html#panEasingFactor If you are working with the Flex Viewer 2.1 source code, you could probably change it in FlexViewer\src\com\esri\viewer\skins\MapManagerSkin.mxml where the Map is defined. ...

Seems like you are setting your geometry to a graphic (thus "not in the correct format"). Have you looked at the DataExtractWidget?  It also connects with a GP service, not thru a selected features, but it might be close enough to help you.  Note how the "geometry:" is a geometry and not a Graphic. For example: var features:Array = []; for each (var graphic:Graphic in graphics) {     features.push({ geometry: graphic.geometry }); } clipFS.features = features; Hope that helps 🙂 ... View more

If you are using the API, check out the CustomLODS sample http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=CustomLODS If you are using the Viewer, either wait for the next version, or look at earlier forum posts.  I vaguely recall someone asking this earlier. ... View more

"As with feature layers, you need a time field in your mosaic dataset's attribute table to indicate the valid time for each raster. Similar to feature layers, you can enable time on the Time tab of the mosaic dataset's Layer Properties dialog box." - http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//005z00000004000000.htm The desktop help is your friend for this 🙂  See for example http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/What_s_new_for_temporal_data/00qp00000018000000/ Once "time" is enabled, publish the service again, empty the cache etc and the service directory should display the Time Info. ...

Do you have one service or multiple services?  Either way, are they time-aware? Compare for example with this time-aware service where the Time Info is listed in the Service Directory - http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World/MODIS/ImageServer which has: Time Info:       Time Extent: [2004/01/01 00:00:00 UTC, 2004/12/01 00:00:00 UTC] You also need to (manually) specify the times you want to use in the TimeSlider widget.  This will then be used on all time-aware layers (which is why they need to be "time-aware" for things to work). ...

The real issue isn't which IDE (FB3 or FB4) you are using, but which Adobe SDK you are compiling against.  You can use FB3 with Adobe SDK 4, as well as FB4 with Adobe SDK 3. Both FB3 and FB4 will create SWF files from the MXML files. So in short, it is possible to use Flex Viewer 2.1 with Flex Builder 3.  You just have to make sure you compile against Adobe SDK 4.  This setting is available at Project -> Properties -> Flex Compiler. You might also want to consider upgrading your machine to FB4. ... View more

The old documentation (1.3) for Flex API talks about getting started with Flex Builder 3 and Flex API 1.3, but my first question would be why you are starting to use Flex Builder 3 instead of Flash Builder 4? http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/flex/help/index.html#getting_started.htm ("old" doc) ...

I would like to see the tooltip customizable for more than just internationalization. I would like to add different text based on my custom action I am using the drawtool for. @Robert, we have this as an enhancement request.  Not sure yet if it's going to make it in to version 2.2 or not. ...

FYI - In Flex Viewer 2.1, as you've noticed, there are a few different issues with both default visibility for group layers and for turning on/off group layers.  For version 2.2, we are planning to take advantage of a new legend component (and make sure that it works properly with group layers). ...

It works within REST if you use the following as an input at http://cuo.geomatics.uct.ac.za/ArcGIS/rest/services/CUO_Tools2/GPServer/Buildable_Accessible_Areas/submitJob and then wait almost a minute: { "distance" : 0.5, "units" : "esriMiles" } Result: http://cuo.geomatics.uct.ac.za/ArcGIS/rest/services/CUO_Tools2/GPServer/Buildable_Accessible_Areas/jobs/j023906e90eee4af8b9ee833b223d1d5c?returnMessages=true ...

Probably not what you are looking for, but I'll mention two possible options: #1 Host your own service (with a different central meridian) #2 Wait til next year when the API will probably support "wrapping" map services. ... View more

Yes you can 🙂 This is similar to how we do the 'onDemand' mode for a FeatureLayer (by not asking for the OBJECTIDs that are already on the client).  If you do it on any other field make sure it's indexed properly. ... View more

@Hviid Actually, you can start playing around with it already.  When you create a "Flex Mobile Application" in Burrito, it will not automatically include the mx library, but if you add the following SWCs you can get a basic map working.

It's not easy ... as you probably figured out based on the lack of responses 🙂 It is however something we are thinking about adding to a future release of the Flex Viewer. So I just wanted to throw out some related questions: Would it be best (or at least good enough) if users could  set the transparency on all operational layers (as opposed to them only being able to change the transparency on some of the operational layers)? Should this functionality (layer transparency for end-users) be the default? Should it always be there, or is something you would want to be able to turn off (not allowing your end users to change the transparency)? ... View more
