Feature Tooltip/Maptip for FlexViewer 2.2

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

All,

   Here is a very simple widget for displaying a map tip on mouse over of a layer that is a Feature type operational or basemap layer. It REQUIRES a layer that is type="feature" to work.

Hi Robert,

When you say, 'It REQUIRES a layer that is type="feature" to work.', do you mean a feature layer only available if using Server 10.0, eg. FeatureServer/0?

Jake,

   No what I mean is in the main config file when you specify a layer for the map you have the choice of dynamic, tiled, feature, image, etc.  The layer type must be feature not the service type people seem to be getting this confused quite often.

When publishing the map service is there anything special I need to set in order to use type="feature".

Here are two lines from my config.xml:

<layer label="Stormwater Feature Dynamic Type" type="dynamic" visible="true"
                   url="http://fpm-gisproxy.fpm.csupomona.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/storm_feature/MapServer"/>

     <layer label="Stormwater Feature Feature Type" type="feature" visible="true"
                   info="widgets/InfoTemplates/InfoPopupWidget.swf"
       infoconfig="widgets/InfoTemplates/IWT_Storm_Feature.xml"
       url="http://fpm-gisproxy.fpm.csupomona.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/storm_feature/MapServer/0"/>

The first one displays the items, while the second does not, and hence the InfoPopup is not available.

Jake,

   Nope... Nothing special. Here is what is in my live sample sites' config.xml

        <operationallayers>
          <layer label="Louisville Zoning" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="0" mode="onDemand"
                   url="http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Louisville/LOJIC_LandRecords_Louisville/MapServer/2"/>
             <layer label="Louisville Zoning" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="0.4" visiblelayers="2"
                   url="http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Louisville/LOJIC_LandRecords_Louisville/MapServer"/>
             <layer label="Louisville Police Facilities" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="1"
                   url="http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Louisville/LOJIC_PublicSafety_Louisville/MapServer/3"/>
        </operationallayers>

Robert,

I don't understand why the feature layer does not display, and therefore InfoPopup does not work. If you take a look here:

http://fpm-gisproxy.fpm.csupomona.edu/flashviewer_test/

And run your identify widget, it returns info from both the dynamic and feature, but only one is viewable.

Any ideas?

Jake,

   Your website does not seem to be publicly accessible.

Thanks for your help so far, I'll keep plugging away till I figure it out.

Jake,
one of the reason for features not getting displayed on the map is that  features only when they are within visible scale range.(between min and max scale.)

Robert I am having no joy with this widget. I do believe it is configured per your example. Any Ideas?

In my config file in the UI Element section:

<widget left="0" top="0"     config="widgets/FeatureTooltip/FeatureTooltipWidget.xml" url="widgets/FeatureTooltip/FeatureTooltipWidget.swf"/>

In my config file in the operationallayers tag:

<layer label="Species" type="feature" visible="true" alpha="0"
             url="http://www.mapservices.ca/ArcGIS/rest/services/Prima/Prima_Operational/MapServer/5"/>

Layer: Single Stem Species (ID: 5)
