Very well done. Thank you!
This is awesome posted by itsmeprash on Oct 30, 2008 8:22 PM
Thanks a lot. Overview is a nice to have feature in any map. I was struggling to keep the size of the drag box the same size no matter the extent. You saved me a lot of time.

Getting error after upgrading to version 1.1 posted by rastrauch on Jan 23, 2009 1:22 PM
Just updated to Flex API v1.1. Getting an error on the OvervewiMap now. "In initializer for 'layers': type com.esri.maplib.OverviewMap is not assignable to target Array element type" I'm still learning Flex so not sure how to fix this (yet). Does anyone know how? Otherwise, the sample is great (and worked in 1.0 just fine). Thanks
disregard last post re: not working in v1.1 posted by rastrauch on Jan 23, 2009 6:20 PM
I haven't tracked the error yet, but I belive that although it is showing the overlay line in error, that it is cause by something else that I have tweaked.
How to disable pan posted by kangdon on Mar 12, 2009 3:12 PM
Tom, thanks for the great example. It is working really good. I have a question... How do you disable pan capability of the overview map? I wish users not be able to drag the red box and move the map. I've tried panEnabled="false" and mouseEnabled="false" but none of these seems to work. thanks ahead for your help.

Don, it is really easy to disable mouse interaction with the overview map. Please see my post on the user forum: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=276767
Updated overview map with bug fix posted by tomhill80 on Mar 30, 2009 3:43 PM
I have posted a new version of the Overview Map component. Please download the latest zip file if you are using it in your applications. Specifically, I fixed a bug reported by Don (see http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=276767), so that now the hand cursor is not shown when the overviewDragExtentBoxEnabled property is changed to false.
