Sample Flex Viewer
|
This Sample Flex Viewer (SFV) is an update to the previously posted versions of the SFV, that were designed to showcase some of the core capabilities of the ArcGIS Platform through a simple, modern, Web 2.0 style user interface. This sample may be used in compiled form with simple modifications to its configuration file, or its source code can be used by application developers to further explore and understand some of the best practices and programming patterns of the ArcGIS API for Flex. This version of the SFV includes several enhancements developed under the ESRI Situational Awareness solution, including some minor enhancements to the application framework as well as several new functionalities including a Query Builder tool, a Geoportal Extension interface widget, a Directions/Routing widget, and several others. Please read the What's New document for further details.[updated 12-03-09]

This design pattern saved me a ton of time! Instead of spending weeks developing a framework I can concentrate on modules of functionality instead of starting from scratch. Thanks!
tutorial on creating widgets posted by DanDanGong on Nov 20, 2008 8:39 PM
Greetings all, Is there a tutorial or some resources on how to create widgets so i can plug them in the framework. It is a great example but i would love to be able to create some extra functionality by building extra widgets. Cheers
Developer's Guide is in the zip posted by 5339 on Nov 20, 2008 10:03 PM
DanDanGong, The Developer's Guide is in the source code zip file inside the zip you download from here. It covers everything you need for developing your own widget.

Thanks for the feedback! We are working on getting a hosted version of the Sample Flex Viewer up on esri.com. We will post that link as soon as it becomes available.
Sample Flex Viewer Updated posted by SampleViewerTeam on Nov 24, 2008 10:36 AM
We just wanted to let you know that the Sample Flex Viewer has been updated (Build 11.21.2008) with the following changes: support for the preloading of multiple widgets; minimum match score is now a configurable option in the Locate widget; a new application theme/stylesheet called "lighterside" is now available. Additional details of these changes can be found in the "WHATSNEW.TXT" file included in the downloadable package.
api version posted by harley on Dec 03, 2008 2:15 AM
hey, this is a great start up app. and the coding "best practices" was not how I was coding my application.. so, I am really glad to see this. . included is version FlexViewer-1.0 swc. what verion of the flex api is being used here? my data was posting nicely into this app across domains too. agslib-1.0-2008-10-22.swc is the last upload I have and currently not able to post my private arcgis 9.3 server map services with this version. I can view data from server if viewing app on file system, but not going from one website to another private webservice with a properly configured crossdomain.xml file. For now, I will try to use the included swc file for all api calls. I will check this site to see if there is a more current version. Thanks for this viewer and api
swf file size is small posted by harley on Dec 03, 2008 2:43 AM
is there a simple reason why when I compile the viewer the swf is twice the size? it exploded from 394kb to 658kb. I did add one url to the config.xml file then compiled the viewer.
ArcGIS Flex API version posted by SampleViewerTeam on Dec 05, 2008 12:22 PM
@harley Thanks for the comment! The Flex API version is same as yours, agslib-1.0-2008-10-22.swc, which is included in the src.
swf size posted by SampleViewerTeam on Dec 05, 2008 12:25 PM
@harley By default, when you build your Flex application, the SWF is generated for debugging (in bin-debug folder). Only when you do a explicit release build the size of the swf will be reduced and optimized.
zoom level posted by baileyr on Dec 05, 2008 7:35 PM
i've added a dynamic map service to the list under the map pull-down but i cant zoom in closer than 1:4509. is there a way to adjust this setting to zoom closer? say... 1:500? thanks! richard.bailey@cityofdayton.org
zoom level posted by SampleViewerTeam on Dec 06, 2008 4:53 AM
The zoom levels are determined by the first map service added to the map (first map service in config.xml). Make sure your map with more detailed scales is the first one added to the map.
Hosted Version??? posted by srpartha on Dec 11, 2008 9:18 AM
Could you explain a little bit further about the "hosted version" at ESRI that you are working on now? I just need to avoid some confusions so that I can make sure that I am duplicating the effort now modifying the viewer to arrive at the same result that I am thinking of. Thanks..
"hosted" meaning posted by SampleViewerTeam on Dec 19, 2008 3:49 AM
@srpartha The "hosted" sample viewer refers to a live demo running from esri.com domain. Nothing else.

Programaticly pop out a widget posted by DanDanGong on Dec 22, 2008 1:42 PM
Greetings all, Is it possible to programaticly make a widget visible once a certain zoom level is reached? Like not show the widget initially but after the user zooms to a particular zoom level to make the widget appear. Cheers
Programmatically opening a widget posted by srpartha on Dec 30, 2008 8:15 AM
If you are looking for a zoom event, you have to listen to the Appevent.SET_MAP_NAVIGATION event. Check the tool parameter of the object that this event carries. If the tool is Navigation.ZOOM_IN or Navigation.ZOOM_OUT then invoke a method that checks the current zoom scale of the map. If it is greater than or less than a particular value do the following: If you are doing this in a widget, you already have the configData object inherited from the basewidget. 1. Go through a for loop to get the id of the widget from the widgetlist in the configdata. var index:Number; for(var i:int=0;i

Sorry for the truncation. posted by srpartha on Dec 30, 2008 8:22 AM
This board does not seem like supporting the pasting of code. Anyways, here it is descriptively: for ( i from 0 to configData.ConfigWidgets.length) if (configData.ConfigWidgets[i].label == "label of the wid to be opened" then var index = configData.ConfigWidgets[i].id as number) dispatch a widget_menu_clicked event with this index.
cached "live maps"? posted by jrfishe1 on Dec 31, 2008 7:30 AM
First, thanks so much for producing this, it let me get started with a really great-looking app with a very small learning curve! One problem I'm having is that for the "live maps" if I set the type to "tiled" they don't display at all. The services I have are cached to match the ArcGIS Online scale levels, and I have no problem getting them to behave properly in the webADF applications or ArcMap, but they only work in this flex viewer when set to "dynamic". Any ideas?
Programmatically opening a widget posted by DanDanGong on Jan 13, 2009 10:03 PM
Greetings, I tried listening for the AppEvent.SET_MAP_NAVIGATION event in the MapManager.mxml code but this never gets called. So when i double click on the map or select the zoom in tool the function that monitors that event never gets called. Any idea why this might be happening? Is MapManager the right place to monitor for this event?

Proxy posted by Jiriteach on Jan 28, 2009 1:56 PM
Hi Guys, Just wanting to find out. I notice there is a tag in the config.xml now as follows:asp or set to whatever you use.
This is working on the Sample JavaScript Viewer. Has it not been implemented on the Sample Flex Viewer? I can't get it to use the proxy. I had added the proxy.config and the proxy.ashx but still nothing.
Any ideas? I need to use the proxy to access feeds where there are no cross-domain.xml.

No source files with download posted by guess on Jan 30, 2009 10:43 AM

Issues with determining graphic symbol type posted by joelacombe on Apr 23, 2009 6:53 AM
I am having problems determining the type of graphic symbol when cycling through graphics added via the draw widget, specifically for TextSymbols. Please reference the following forum post: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=279863#866172 I am trying to loop through graphics added to a graphics layer using the draw widget and then recreate those graphics for serialization to a service. for each graphic, obviously I need to determin the geometry and symbol types and cast to the appriate object, i.e. if symbol is TextSymbol, then cast the symbol to a TextSymbol object. this works if I run this loop in the Draw widget. However, if I run the loop in a seperate widget, i.e. my print widget, I can access the graphics layer, determine and cast the geometry type, but I cannot determine the symbol type using the "is" keyword nor can I cast the symbol to the approapriate symbol type, i.e. TextSymbol. Again, it works in the drawing widget itself, or any component where I am creating the graphics layer and adding to the map and performing the loop all within the same component. I only get the problem when I extract the graphics layer from the map object within another widget. Any thoughts on this?
Project not right? posted by Wizard2k on Apr 29, 2009 10:49 AM
I must REALLY fail at reading, but when I import my project...I end up with a FlexViewer/bin-debug/ folder with /com/ and all that inside it. But I also end up with a FlexViewer/com/ folder which is identical to the one above. Problem is if I make changes to any of the source files in the /src/ folder they push their changes to the /bin-debug/com/ folder but the website is referencing the FlexViewer/com/ folder instead of FlexViewer/bin-debug/com/ folder like (I think) the Guide shows. This causes endless problems but, it starts as soon as I import the project. What on Earth have I done wrong?

Display Widgets at App Load Time posted by azatrain on May 08, 2009 12:32 PM
I'd like to have a couple of widgets displayed in their minimized state when my application loads. How and where would I code for that?
Display Widgets at App Load Time posted by azatrain on May 08, 2009 12:39 PM
Sometimes asking the question is all you need to find the answer. I was able to get the widgets to display at app load time by adding a preload="true" parameter to the config.xml file. Now I just need them to display in the minimized state by default. I tried doing that in the onLayerLoad function in WidgetManager.mxml with the following code, but it isn't working. Anyone have any ideas? var widget:IBaseWidget; widget = widgetTable.find(id) as IBaseWidget; widget.setState(BaseWidget.STATE_MINIMIZED);
Display Widgets at App Load Time posted by azatrain on May 08, 2009 12:55 PM

When can we expect to see an updated Sample Flex Viewer for ArcGIS Server 9.3.1/ArcGIS API for Flex 1.2.
The Flex Viewer is updated posted by SampleViewerTeam on May 27, 2009 10:06 AM
The Sample Flex Viewer is updated. It's compiled with the latest Flex API 1.2 and Flex SDK 3.3. For details, please read the WHATSNEW.txt included in the release package.
@Wizard2k posted by SampleViewerTeam on May 27, 2009 10:11 AM
The bin-debug is a Flex Builder generated folder. It's created once the Flex Builder project created (imported). You only need work on the files in FlexViewer/src/* folders. Sounds like it's Flex learning curve thing. But again, the best place to ask question is at the Forum. There are lots of helping hands there. Thanks for using Flex Viewer.

Confused about implementation posted by dgrecocov on Oct 09, 2009 10:16 AM
Hi everyone. Is the flexviewer-src-1.0.zip essential? I downloaded the Flex Viewer and got everything working fine. When I began to look at Widgets, many of them referenced placing information in src/com/* directory, which is not included under the main FlexViewer folder. Further, the Read Me documentation references following the FlexViewer/com/ path (no src). I guess basically my question is, do I use the FlexViewer Folder that is unpacked in the download package or the FlexViewer folder contained within the zip folder referenced above? I am pretty new at this and am relying solely on the Read Me docs so any insight is really appreciated. Thank you.
Need to show copyright for maps... posted by Miguel on Oct 17, 2009 11:28 PM
Greetings. The FLEX Viewer is the workhorse for our Flex related demos. We have modified and augmented it with many of the add ins posted on this site. However, something that it is lacking and we desperately need, is the capability to display a copyright related note for each map that requires it. This is feature is necessary for many locations outside of the U.S. where data is either proprietary, or where data that is free, still needs to be copyrighted. The perfect example of the latter includes Open Street Map, which when used needs to be attributed with the following: "(c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA" at minimum. So a great addition to the core, or even as an add in, that would allow the incorporation of copyright information for each map would be would be much welcome. Thanks for a fantastic implementation.

I fixed my issue. I was using Flex version SDK 3.4. When I changed the SDK back to 3.2, it worked great.
problem with layer transperancy labels posted by paulheinrich on Nov 05, 2009 11:36 AM
I just updated my application to the latest version of the Sample Viewer and made the same alterations to the config.xml and other xml files I have been modifying. Everything works great except I'm getting weird labels for my layers in the LiveMapsLayer widget. In the old version layer names were the same for both the Layer Visability and Layer Transparency views. Now for Layer Transparency I'm seeing names like ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer93 and ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer94. I've been comparing the xml and mxml for the old and new versions of the widget, but I'm finding no differences. Can anyone suggest where this is happening?
re: problem with layer transperancy labels posted by bjorn on Nov 11, 2009 10:14 AM
@paulheinrich The unexpected name is probably because of an API update in version 1.1: "The name property on Layer is no longer overridden." http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/flex/help/index.html#whats_new.htm I believe there is another thread talking about this somewhere on the Flex API forum, but can't seem to find it now.

I'm having the same problem as paulheinrich mention two post up. Using the sample application. In the Live Layer Widget on the Layer Visibility Setting I see names like: ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer107 ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer108 Instead of the names of the services in my sample application. http://mapas.gmtgis.net/CD_AEE/

Livelayers not showing up properly posted by jmmoro00 on Dec 07, 2009 9:20 AM
It appears that after the last update the livelayers widget / livelayers are no longer working properly. I can see the data frame however none of the data is showing up. If I use the new "add service" component of the livelayer widget in the app, referencing the same map service & url pointed at in the config file, it works properly.
Response to Livelayers Widget Error posted by robinsonbruce on Dec 08, 2009 10:58 AM
In response to jmmoro00's post on 7 Dec re LiveLayers widget: the problem you're encountering is that the web app is receiving error 403.1, meaning the web app does not have permission to execute scripts. To resolve the issue in IIS v6.0, select the app in IIS, edit the Properties, and on the Virtual Directory tab, make sure the Execute Permissions box has "Scripts and Executables" selected. This will attribute script execution directly to the app. If using IIS v7.0, just make sure you set the app up as an “application” and not a “virtual directory.”

Documentation for Sample Flex Viewer and Widgets? posted by dwwheelock on Dec 11, 2009 8:52 AM
The PDF documentation for the Sample Flex Viewer is merely a primer. Is there any other documentation for SFV functions, such as WidgetEffects, that might explain their functionality in detail or must we just guess and and rely on the kindness of folks on this forum? Is there a reference list somewhere of the new, unique functions that are built into the SFV and their capabilities? I created a new thread for this here: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=296982

WMS.SWC missing for me, too. posted by dwwheelock on Dec 11, 2009 12:16 PM
I've been using the June version of the Sample Flex Viewer for about a month. Today I discovered the new version from last week and tried to test it. I, too, get the error of the missing wms.swc file. If I try to run with the errors, I get 404 Page not found. Also, when I import it, it imports as a project named ESACore, instead of FlexViewer. I am still able to import the June version as a new project and run it with no problem. Looks like a problem with the new version.

wms.swc posted by jjpizarro on Dec 14, 2009 5:02 AM
In response to jleprowse on Dec 11, the problem is the project configuration on flex builder. On flex builder path configuration go to Library path and remove all invalid library reference
Need a better 'whatsnew' file posted by subu on Dec 14, 2009 2:43 PM
Dear Sample Viewer Team, All ESRI Flex users would appreciate having a better whatsnew file to download with the sample viewer. The current file is confusing to say the least and does not clearly state why it might be necessary or advantageous to upgrade to this version. We like your work but we just need better documentation so that we can decide when and how to upgrade to your latest viewer update. Thanks in advance.

I am also, receiving this error. I have played with the lib source files with no success. Please help. It seems to me that this application has very widespread use (for good reason), I'd like to see better support and or training options from ESRI.
response: unable to open "\wms\bin-debug\wms.swc" posted by jjpizarro on Dec 16, 2009 11:26 AM
the problem is that file not exist, it is in /lib folder, so you need to remove this reference from flex builder path in your flex builder project, following this: - rigth click on your project - click on properties - Flex Build Path - on rigth panel click on library path - remove invalid library reference (\wms\bin-debug\wms.swc)

Missing flexviewerlib.swc... or is it only me posted by OliverTwist on Dec 22, 2009 2:10 AM
I have downloaded and built the Flex Viewer application which works fine (but I am not clear how when the index.mxml is empty!) In the PDF documentation for the viewer (page 25) it mentions a separate flexviewerlib.swc that you can use to develop widgets outside the sample flex viewer project - but for the life of me I can't find any sign of it in the zip.

config.xml question posted by riptele on Jan 04, 2010 1:39 PM
In the latest version of flexviewer, the config.xml file for the live maps widget entry points to flexviewer/widgets/LiveMaps.xml for the config file and esa/widgets/LiveMaps.swf for the compiled swf. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I also noticed the widget ChartWidget is using the esa/widgets/ChartWidget and not the flexviewer/widgets/ChartWidget. Why are there two versions of these widgets?

Need older version of the Sample Flex Viewer posted by shaunaraebrown on Jan 08, 2010 10:37 PM
We are still using ArcGIS Server 9.3, and I'm just getting started with the Sample Flex Viewer. Recently, I accidentlly deleted my old zip file of version 1.0 and everything that I unzipped. I'm guessing that I need the older version of the SFV, since our server is running AGS 9.3. If ANYONE has the original Sample Flex Viewer (I downloaded the zip file in September 2009), please repost it in the Code Gallery or e-mail me at shaunarae.brown@gmail.com. I can't be the only one with this problem. Thanks a bunch :-)

Bing basemaps in the Sample Flex Viewer 1.0 Problem posted by tbrophy on Jan 14, 2010 7:09 AM
I can not get Bing basemaps to show in the Sample Flex Viewer 1.0 I have successful viewed Bing basemaps in the Sample Flex Viewer 1.3 (SFV1.3) using the sample code - no problem. So I know it works with my ArcGIS Sever 9.3.1 (.NET), IIS and the vetoken.ashx are configured properly. I have modified the config.xml in the SFV1.0 (below) that reflect in the config.xml in the SFV1.3. I have a Sample Flex Viewer 1.0 (SFV1.0) that I would like to keep due to it's customization. (I am using "arcgis_api_for_flex_1_3" and "SDK 3.4.1 for both). I have modified the config.xml & MapManager.mxml in the SFV1.0 (below) that reflect the config.xml & MapManager.mxml in the SFV1.3. I have gotten rid of all widgets and livemaps to keep thing simple.. I don't get any errors in Flex Builder. If I use the default basemap layers - everything runs fine. I've been working on this for a few days now. Has anyone successful viewed Bing basemaps in the Sample Flex Viewer 1.0? What am I missing?

Query Builder Widget Operation? posted by jmmoro00 on Jan 27, 2010 11:05 AM
When using the query builder widget, is the widget supposed to actually build a query string box? Using the live demo fo the flex builder I am able to choose a map service, dynamically view the fields and possible query choices etc. however when I double click, drag, any other options I could think of for building the query string nothing appears. I am able to type in a query manually however, for instance I can manually type -- OBJECTID = 1 -- but by choosing a map service, selecting the OBJECTID attribute, choosing an operator, and choosing a potential value I get nothing in the query string box. Am I doing something wrong?

What is WidgetManager.mxml for? It is a component in the viewer but I don't see it used anywhere. I even renamed it and everything is well. It seems like the docked version is used. Is this an alternate component to use or what?
