Flex Viewer 3.0
Running on ArcGIS 10

Hi everyone, sorry for this newbie question but I'm completely stumped - it's obviously something fundamental that I'm forgetting or not grasping.

I have a Parcel polygon layer in SDE. In my MXD I have created a successful relate and created a service in ArcServer. When creating the service I specified a map service as well as a feature service.

In my flex viewer, no matter what I try I can't get the layer to display unless I set the Type = "dynamic".
When I set it to feature it just doesn't draw.
What am I doing wrong?
This works:
<layer label="Parcels" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="1.0"
popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Fires.xml"
url="http://maps/ArcGIS/rest/services/BaseData/Parcels/MapServer"/>

But this doesn't:
<layer label="Parcels" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1.0"
popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Fires.xml"
url="http://maps/ArcGIS/rest/services/BaseData/Parcels/FeatureServer/0"/>
**It appears the layer is added to the viewer, I can see it in the "More..." list, and I can 'Zoom to' it. however the polygons just aren't there??

I'm trying to get the feature type to work so that I can use Robert's InfoRelate widget....
Thank you for any guidance....I've been working on this for 5-6 hours now but can't see what I'm doing wrong.

Adding shapefiles to ArcGIS Viewer for Flex

Hello,
I am very new at the web GIS stuff. I must be missing something very simple and basic in terms of uploading my own data. I am just trying to set a up a viewer so that others can view some shapefiles that I have via an online interactive map. I downloaded the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.1 along with the App Builder 3.1. I went through the on-line video tutorials and loads of documentation. Correct me if I am wrong but it is not possible to upload shapefiles directly into the viewer. Instead I need to save them as an ArcGIS Online map service?? I also read something about zipping them 1st. When do I do that if I am saving them to ArcGIS Online via ArcMap? From what I understand, if using the viewer itself then I need to to add the path for the service to my config.xml to access these data? If using the app builder then I have the option of adding them through "operational layers - ArcGIS Online - My Content". Am I on the right track? If so I am not sure why I am able to save my shapefiles to ArcGIS Online - My Data via ArcMap but my Flex Viewer doesn't recognize these data when I go to operational layers - ArcGIS Online - My Content. I can even see it in my ArcGIS Online - My Content website. Any ideas? Is there a simple way to add some shapefiles?

Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks
Joe

While working with Flex: “an action script error has occurred”,

while working on the url published by Flex I got an error which says: “an action script error has occurred” as shown on the screenshot below,

This error freezes the url and thus the user is not able to proceed in exploring the map!


What might be emerging for this error?

This is directly related to my post here, but wanted to see if i could catch Roberts attention since it's direclty related to the relate widget he's made available.

http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/743...ic.-why-s-that

For some reason, I can't get my layer to draw unless I set it to a type=dynamic. But of course, to get the relate widget to work I need it to be a type=feature.
Any ideas what I need to look at in order for my config code to work properly? Seems so simple but just can't get it to work. It had been working for months but now no good.

Thanks for any tips.
Again, sorry for the double post, but I couldn't rename my other post to include 'relate widget'.

I’m not sure if there might be a development that allows “permitted” users to download layers from the web application (built on Flex) and save them in their hard disks.

I am having problems connecting properly to the my server. I recently updated my 3.0 arcgis viewer for flex to 3.1 but since it does not work with the projected coordinate system that i am working with I had to go back and install the 3.0 version again. But since then it can not connect to the server that i am using as it did before, it only shows one folder and in the one folder that it shows it only shows two services. The thing is that the services that it shows are the only services that I have on my server that have different coordinate system that all my other services.

So I am using the updated Map Services Widget (v3.1) and loving it. Thanks, David Galluzzo!

One question: most of the services I am adding are imagery, so I would like to have them added to the bottom of the TOC instead of the top. I figure the solution lies in the loadService() function of the MapServices.mxml, but I am not a programmer nor savvy enough to figure out all the places where I would need to change the code.

Any chance someone else out there could post a second version of the MXML that would accomplish this?

Has anyone else noticed a problem with Bing's basemaps in the Flex Viewer? I have tried Roads, Imagery and Hybrid basemaps in the Viewer versions 2.2, 2.5 and 3.0 with the same results - missing tiles in each zoom level. I have tried dumping cache in IE 7 & 8, Firefox, and Chrome -- all with the same results.

The Bing Maps site has no issues at all.

Anyone know what might be happening?

Thanks,
--Adam

**UPDATE**

Found that this is a company surf control issue. Bing must have brought a new tile server online (ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net) and Fiddler showed me the issue.

Thanks all for looking!

Hello,

I am ignorant about geocoding. I have knowledge on how it works. My question is I have a shape file that lat/long locations along with address in the file including zip. I am trying to build a viewer application with functionalities like geocoding and geoprocessing. When using geocoding funcitonality in viewer will the shape file that I have will work or do I need to geocode again using arcmap. I am confused. Please help

Thanks

I set up the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. I added the Time widget.
When I set up the Time Extent to use the Time Extent from Layer it does not work.
However, if I select Specific times and set the Start time and End time then it works correctly.
This suggests I have either not published the service correctly and there is a bug in the Widget.


Has anyone got it working correctly by selecting Time Extent from Layer.

To All FlexViewer Users and Robert Scheitlin:

I have downloaded the FlexViewer Build 3.1 software as well as the latest compiled eSearch Widget v3.1.2, but the eSearch widget hangs with a spinning progress symbol and never opens the eSearch Widget.

I also noticed that when I opened the zip file from the download at:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html...dfd8d8fb2a513e

it had a folder named compiled_FV3.0.

So I am wondering if the latest download has the compiled 3.0 eSearch widget and not the compiled 3.1 eSearch widget.

Any feedback on this topic is greatly appreciated. Thank you
