Tried that out and got the same error: File not found: file:/C:/Users/228972/Adobe%20Flash%20Builder%204.5/flexviewer-3.0pr/bin-debug/index.html That does create the bin-debug folder properly, but no index.html for some reason. Is index.html created on import or when you first compile the project? Thanks for the help! ... View more

Hi Sean, It is possible that you need to install the BA Server Upload Components onto the desktop machine. Try installing them from DVD #3 from the BA Server media. If this is not the case, I can describe how to manually upload them to BA Server for you. Let me know how it goes. Chris Thanks Chris! I'll give that a shot. I'd love to know how to manually upload them anyways, if you don't mind. ... View more

Chris...thank you so much for the time you put into this. It's obvious you did a ton of work and I really appreciate it. I think there may be something wrong with our BAServer...although I cannot guess what. When I switch the client.url to our own, instead of the normal results, it acts as if it completed the task correctly but zooms in to a ridiculously large scale dead center off the west coast of Africa. With your server it works perfectly. When I put our respective server names into a web browser, they take me to identical screens (except for the map name). Based on that simple diagnostic mine is running fine. Has the remove overlap task listed correctly, etc.  Is there a known reason my BA server client would behave like that? ... View more

So has anyone ever gotten this to work independently? Even directly copying ESRI code I get results, but they have a size of zero. I honestly don't care who or how, I just want to see this implemented so I know the function isn't broken, my current theory. This post is now the second top hit on google when searching for this call, so A. It shows how few people have done this and B. It would be nice if we knew if it was functional, and if so, why the example no longer seems to work so others might see it. ... View more

Ok, so right now I am trying to get the service working by adapting the example application here: http://baserver.esri.com/BAS_Flex/SamplesExplorer.html?sample=RemoveOverlap The only code I have changed is adding my client, removing the "attribute" call for the fill symbols which was apparently retired,  and the resultHandler function, which IS being triggered by the task. I feel like my resultHandler task should be putting something on screen. The label does display "taskResultOutput" (line 285). If I don't comment out the lines which make the map extent equal to the result output(281-282), the program hangs. I have taken out the imports and variable declarations to make the post fit. They are identical to the sample above. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" pageTitle="Example - Using Esri Business Analyst Server API for Flex to execute a Remove Overlap task." creationComplete="startSample()"> <!-- This sample takes user-drawn trade areas and executes the Remove Overlap task to remove the overlap (cannibalization) between trade areas. <fx:Script>   <![CDATA[    //----------------------------------    // Initializing    //----------------------------------       /**     * Initialize the polygon draw at sample creating     */    private function startSample():void    {     _initialExtent = map.extent;         lblGuide.text = "This sample demonstrates setting up multiple trade or service areas " +      "and removing any overlaps between them.

Sean,    Both dynamic labeling and Actual Annotation Feature classes will display in the Map as Long are the layer is specified as other than feature. Quick response, thanks! Now I feel bad for being snarky! ... View more

Michael,    A published map with annotation works fine in a map service when you add the map service as a dynamic layer. You can see this in may flex site including my own. http://gis.calhouncounty.org/flexviewer2.0/ Could someone clarify this response a bit? Is the word annotation being used to mean normal labeling or labels converted to annotation before being uploaded? I assume the latter but can;t be positive. If I change my layer type from feature to dynamic, will it work as stated or is there more difference to a feature vs. dynamic layer that's not explained? I am about to spend an hour trying things that could be answered in three sentences. ... View more
