I have been fooling around with ArGIS On-line and I've run into some dead ends, I think. I suppose in AGOL I can't sync the mouse movement with the data to perform a "mouse over"? Not sure if that is the right term - - when you move your mouse over a feature and information about that feature pops up without actually having to click the feature? Am I correct in thinking it is not possible to do this in AGOL?
I have also been playing with ArcGIS Viewer for Flex but I am so confused about adding my own operational layers (I guess I can convert the shapefiles from ArcMap to map services and then open them up that way by inserting the mapserver URL in the config.xml). Problem is I can't access this REST endpoint to reference my service URL. It's just not there on my machine. I read last night that I need to have ArcGIS Server to do this? Is that correct? If I don't need Server, does anyone want to tell me how to do this step by step. I am not finding any clear web sites to instruct me on how to do this.
Thanks!
