Hi,

I am working on a FlexViewer app. So far I was using complied version, setup the application and it is working fine. However I would like to modify the size of the popup window as advised How can I increase the size of a popup window in the Flex viewer 3.6 but I don't know what to do with modified mxml file. I don't understand what and how I shall compile?

Shall I download full API and compile entire application? If so, what about configuration and changes I made so far using compiled version...?

I am sorry if these are silly questions... I a complete newbie to Flex and development.

Many thanks for any help!

Tomasz,

   Well let me begin by saying you should not be using FlexViewer if you are new to it. The only reason you should be using FlexViewer is if you have existing legacy apps that you need to support. The ArcGIS API for Flex is now in mature status and will not be updated by esri.  Read this blog post for the beginning of last year Esri’s Roadmap for Web Developers | ArcGIS Blog

You need to look at Web AppBuilder as you starting point as this is the replacement for FlexViewer.

Hi Robert,

this is exactly the case, I have the application ready. I just need some adjustments. My problem is, that the application was build with ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Application Builder. Among others I would like to change the popup.

Tomasz,

   You would need to get a Flex IDE like Adobe Flash Builder and Download the Source code for the Flex Viewer and setup a project in Flash Builder. You can then copy over your XML configuration files to your project and then you will have a project that is ready for coding changes. To modify things like the popup which is part of the Flex API and NOT the Flex Viewer Project you would have to download the Flex API and add the popup skin to your project so that you can modify it. The small amount of time you have spent configuring your Flex Viewer app is extremely minimal compared to time and effort you are going to put into modifying code and API skins like the popup. My recommendation remains, don't start customizing a product that is no longer supported. But if you are just determined to go this route there are many threads where I and others have detailed what to do to edit the API's popuprendererskin. All you have to do is search.
