I'm reordering some layers map.reorderLayer(id,index); and that's working flawlessly, but I'd like to query against the map object to review the layer order. I see in this method that there is an index associated with the layer id, which leads me to believe I can determine the order of the layers at anytime. Question: Is there a method to determine a particular layer's order or a property in the map object I could use? Thanks, ... View more

I've experienced BING tiles loading in slowly and in further inspecting the source on bing maps I discovered that Microsoft is calling a dynamic service and we, via esri, are calling a tiled service. Is there a plan to integrate Microsoft's Dynamic service into the ESRI JS API? thanks ... View more

is it possible to make 'esri.request' non asynchronous? ... View more

in the non-amd iteration of the API there was a 'lods' method that could be used to set the level of displays of the map to allow the map to be zoomed in closer than the basemap allows.  I don't see this in the new documentation.  Has this been deprecated? if so what's the new way to set the LOD or allow the map to zoom in closer than the basemap allows? thx ...

I'm creating graphics layer with ajax return.  I can see the graphics layer in the map, but the points don't appear on the layer, I'm adding the points but somehow something seems missing. Jen is an object that's holding most of the map elements. EDIT: I'm now getting a new error here's the reformated code:  **Error: Problem parsing d="Z"**         $.ajax({       url: opt.url,       type: 'GET',       dataType: 'json',       error: function(error) {         console.error('error: ' + error);         jen.ajaxData.points = {           "points": [             [-122.63, 45.51],             [-122.56, 45.51],             [-122.56, 45.55],             [-122.62, 45.00],             [-122.59, 45.53]           ],           "spatialReference": ({             "wkid": 4326           })         };       },       success: function(data) {         console.info('ajax is successfull');         jen.graphicObj = {};         jen.graphicObj.Layer = new esri.layers.GraphicsLayer();         for (var i = 0; i < (data.length); i++) {           jen.ajaxData.long.push(data.latitude);           jen.ajaxData.lat.push(data.longitude);           jen.ajaxData.num.push(data.number);           jen.ajaxData.idleTime.push(data.idelTimeMinutes);           jen.ajaxData.points = {             "points": [jen.ajaxData.long, jen.ajaxData.lat],             "spatialReference": ({               "wkid": 4326             })           };           jen.graphicObj.geometry = new esri.geometry.Multipoint(jen.ajaxData.points);           jen.graphicObj.infoTemplate = new esri.InfoTemplate(//);           jen.graphicObj.graphic = new esri.Graphic(jen.graphicObj.webMercator, jen.circle, '', jen.graphicObj.infoTemplate);           jen.graphicObj.webMercator = esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(jen.graphicObj.geometry);           jen.graphicObj.Layer.add(jen.graphicObj.graphic);         }       } //end of success function     }).done(function(){       //layers get added in a loop after this point   } ...

I've been having a tough time getting the renderer to work with my dynamic services all internal but ending with: '/MapServer/0'.  My map is built on a series of loops and callbacks, everything is working except for trying to show a dynamic layer with the esri renderer.  Does anything look wrong here?  I've thrown everything in an object to ensure nothing is getting overwritten during execution. Thanks, var setDynamicLayer = function(URL, img, lyrNm, mxSc) {         lyrHldr.push(new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(URL, {             id: lyrNm         }));         var Ren = {};         Ren.defaultSym = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, 30,            new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,            new dojo.Color([100,149,237]), 1),            new dojo.Color([224,255,255,0.75]));         Ren.renderer = new esri.renderer.SimpleRenderer(Ren.defaultSym);         Ren.options = [], Ren.drawingOptions = new esri.layers.LayerDrawingOptions();         Ren.drawingOptions.renderer = Ren.renderer;         Ren.options.push(Ren.drawingOptions);         _.last(lyrHldr).setLayerDrawingOptions(Ren.options);         return _.last(lyrHldr);     }; ...

Has any created a function to adjust the identify parameter's identify tolerance(screen pixels) per the map scale or zoom level?  If no function can this be confirmed that ESRI is or is not already making this adjustment? Thanks ... View more
