Coordinate Widget (ltappdirgt/widgets/Coordinate/Coo
rdinateWidget.xml) The Coordinate widget is a
simple widget that enables x,y coordinate values
to appear in the Viewer UI, as the cursor moves
to different locations in the map display. The
coordinate values change dynamically as the
cursor moves and are displayed underneath the map
scalebar (default configuration). The coordinate
values are based on the spatial reference of the
first basemap loaded into the Viewer. This
widget also displays the scale of the map in
absolute format (e.g. 19,600). This is an Esri
widget with minor enhancements.   The file is
defined by a ltconfigurationgt tag that identifies
it as a configuration file for the Viewer. It
has the following child tags   ltoutputunitgt -
The measurement unit to display supported values
are geo (Geographic), dms (Degress, Minutes,
Seconds), and mercator (Web mercator). If any
other value is used, the units will not be
projected. ltnumberformattergt - Determines the
precision formatting of the displayed

HTML Wrapper (index.html) Flex applications must
be started with an html wrapper file. This file
contains the title of the application that
displays on the browser header and on the browser
tab (if you use a tabbed browser). lt!DOCTYPE

Best Practice for Target Browser Size with the
Hamilton County Flex Viewer Larry Stout July 26,
2011 Introduction As GIS professionals, we tend
to have large monitors, multiple monitors, and
very high screen resolutions. As I write this, I
am using a laptop with a 17 display plus a
second monitor with a 24 display. Both are set
to a resolution of 1920 x 1200. If I could have
even larger monitors, I would.   When developing
and/or configuring a web application it is
important to understand many of your users will
have smaller monitors and lower screen resolution
than you do. Its a good idea and a best
practice to set your target screen resolution and
test your application at that screen resolution.

• Email Widget
• Larry Stout
• October 21, 2011
• These are the concepts for adding an Email Widget
  to the Esri Flex Viewer. These concepts are
  taken from my implementation with Version 2.2 of
  the Esri Flex Viewer, and the details may vary
  for other versions of the Esri Flex Viewer.
• This document assumes you are comfortable
  editing, debugging, and compiling the source code
  of the Esri Flex Viewer.
• I implemented this using my own Email Widget.
  The source code for this widget is not in this
  document but is available separately.
• The Email Widget itself is pretty trivial except
  for the feature that includes parameters in the
  URL that will set the center of the map, the
  scale of the map, and the layer visibilities of
  the map. There are two parts to this feature
• Building the URL parameters to append to the Flex
  Viewer URL in the email
• Processing the URL parameters when the Flex
  Viewer is opened
