LabelLayer using feature layer called via CreateMap?

BenAller · ‎11-04-2013

Does anyone know if there's a way to label feature layers that are called through the arcgisUtils.CreateMap method? Perhaps there's a way to get at the operational layers in the webmap to build label layers without having to use map.addLayer for each feature layer I wish to label? My test page seems overkill in that it's calling the same layer through both the CreateMap and through map.addLayer. I'd like to leverage all the settings saved within my webmap, and guess I'm looking for the most efficient way of creating the labels.

Thanks,
Ben
