How to open application on last map extent in flex

[akshayloya]

Hi,

When I close my flex application or re-login it, map refreshes to initial extent. I want to open my application on same extent on which I've logged-out or close the application. Any idea on how I can go about it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Akshay

Akshay,

   This thread is close to what you are looking for (though the code was developed for the Sample Flex Viewer the concept is similar).

Save session state

Hi Robert,

Can you please summarise for last extent thing. I'm getting bit confused with so many things in that thread.

Thanks

Akshay,

   Most of the follow-on posts to that thread have to do with saving the TOC checked layer states and other stuff. The basic saving of the maps extent code is in the zip I provided. This will only be code you can learn from though as this code was developed for the Sample Flex Viewer (SFV). this was the viewer before esri started to even support the viewer as a product. I don't spend time in Flex any more as it is a API that has reached mature status and is no longer updated by esri.
