Hi José, On 1.1: I'm not sure I understand the reference to it working better in ArcMap when using WebADF on the client.  When you start ArcMap (or "refresh version"), it gets (or should get) the latest data and allows you to work with this data in a session.  When you save that or does anything else to refresh the data in ArcMap, ArcMap should have the latest data.  This behavior should not be impacted if you have a second editor using Flex, JavaScript, ArcMap, or WebADF. It should only be a question about whether ArcMap has "asked" for the latest data. On 1.2: Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here. Probably because I'm missing the underlying purpose or use case.  Are you trying to add functionality to ArcMap or to your web client? On 2: There might be some bug hiding here but I'm not sure.  Do you mean that after creating new vertices (to an existing feature) in your Flex application, then it doesn't show up in ArcMap?  Is it reproducible (happening every time)?  Has the changes been made to the server (i.e. check the Flex application in a different browser, like IE instead of Firefox just to make sure there is no browser cache issues)?  If you restart ArcMap does it have the changes, or does ArcMap never see the changes? ...

That's not using our beta API Library ("swc").  Notice the ESRI Logo on the bottom right, it should be saying "Beta" (not "Powered by"). I'm guessing your project has both the 1.x library as well as the 2.x library... ... View more

Yes, this is the right approach. (Note that technically you only need to refresh when the applyEdits was successful.) If you're using the Editor we might make that easier in the future. ... View more

It should look the same if you're looking at the same sample both online and on your machine...  Not all samples show the same slider.  Some of our sample now show how, with just a little css, you can easily change the look and feel of the zoom slider. ... View more

For editing non-simple types (for example geometric network) your data needs to be versioned.  Is it? http://help.esri.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#/Authoring_feature_services/009300000021000000/ - This page also have some other good information 🙂 ...

Have you tried the refresh version command in ArcMap? For example, if you and I are editing the default version in ArcMap and I make a change and then save edits, you will not see the change until you refresh the version. The easiest way to do this is to click the refresh version command on the versioning toolbar. ... View more

Calling applyEdits on the FeatureLayer will send the request to the REST endpoint which will try to apply these edits on the server.  If you can see the changes in a Javascript application, then the change has definitely been made on the server. Are you using versioned data?  And if so, are you sure everything is looking at the same version? ... View more

For FeatureLayer (as for ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer and ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer), the API first makes a request for the metadata (also known as the service directory). For example, http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Fire/Sheep/FeatureServer/0 (We actually ask for the json, not html, but it is the same content). If you change the image in ArcMap, you'll need to re-publish your service as well as making sure the REST cache is refreshed.  If not, Flex will still get the "old" metadata/images.  This is not specific to the symbols, but is true for any changes in a Map or Feature Service. As for what symbols are supported, take a look at this post from the REST beta forum: http://forumsbeta.esri.com/showthread.php?t=1269&referrerid=213 Hope this helps 🙂 ... View more

The feature layer is a client-side layer, and thus the symbols are drawn client-side.  The symbol information is setup in the Feature Service (so created in ArcMap) and is part of the metadata for the layer (see for example the services directory for a feature service). http://servicesbeta.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/HomelandSecurity/operations/FeatureServer/2 One way to figure out the details about what is happening here, and how, is to look at the actual http traffic.  This is a general good advice for debugging applications using the underlying REST API for ArcGIS Server 🙂 I use Firefox and the HttpFox extension but you can use whatever tool you prefer - Charles, Firebug, ...  Note that editing is done with POST (not GET), so here you need a tool that can support POST. For example, start with http://help.esri.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=EditorBasic Click on a feature. Change the "FType" Look at the POSTed request to the feature service ("POST Data" tab if you're using HttpFox) f   json updates [{"attributes":{"OBJECTID":2826,"FType":"10101"}}] and response (the "Content" tab if you're using HttpFox): {"addResults":[], "updateResults":[{"objectId":2826,"globalId" : null,"success":true}], "deleteResults":[]} Note that the service only returns success or failure.  The client already has the symbol information to render the feature correctly. ...

The sample is called FeatureLayerClustering and you can see it in action at http://help.esri.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=FeatureLayerClustering ... View more

Sorry my bad - that was an old sample.  I've removed it. ... View more

In the API Library download (the "zip") is a rough/draft cluster sample called ClusterFunction.mxml.  We haven't included it in the list/TOC of samples online because our clustering implementation is still a bit rough and the sample isn't that great.  There might be a few API changes to the first beta when it comes to clustering ... To see the samples, either compile it in FlashBuilder or go to: http://help.esri.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html?sample=ClusterFunction Any feedback on clustering is most welcome.  Before the final release we will have documentation and more samples. ...

Correct, Google etc can't trespass... However, you can subscribe to this forum and all new posts.
