The following is a simple sample that shows how to skin, style and reposition the map navigation control. All is done using CSS: Navigation { borderSkin : ClassReference("NavBorderSkin"); showScaleInDataTip: true; paddingLeft: 6; paddingRight: 2; paddingTop: 2; paddingBottom: 2; top: 30; left: NaN; right: 30; } NavigationMinusButton { disabledSkin: Embed(source="assets/globe_icon.png"); downSkin: Embed(source="assets/globe_icon.png"); overSkin: Embed(source="assets/globe_icon.png"); upSkin: Embed(source="assets/globe_icon.png"); } NavigationPlusButton { disabledSkin: Embed(source="assets/home_icon.png"); downSkin: Embed(source="assets/home_icon.png"); overSkin: Embed(source="assets/home_icon.png"); upSkin: Embed(source="assets/home_icon.png"); } Note that I have to set the value of left to NaN to override the default value...

Once you have generated your tiles from a map services, you can move these tiles to Amazon S3 . I used the S3Fox Firefox extension to move the files from my local system to S3. In addition, make sure to copy the JSON map service metadata to a file named "MapServer" (without quotes of course :-). You can access these tiles using the Flex API for ArcGIS server as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags" xmlns:s3="com.esri.s3.*" layout="absolute" > <esri:Map> <s3:S3ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer url="http://s3.amazonaws.com/your_map_service/MapServer"/> </esri:Map> </mx:Application> And here is the implements of S3ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer class: package com.esri.s3 { import com.esri.ags.layers.ArcGISTile...

Here is an example of how to skin the border of an InfoWindow using degrafa . This can be done using CSS by defining a skinBorder to InfoWindow as follows: InfoWindow { padding-left : 5; padding-right : 5; padding-top : 5; padding-bottom : 5; tip-width : 3; tip-length : 3; border-skin : ClassReference("IWBorderSkin"); } The IWBorderSkin is a sub-class of a degrafa GraphicBorderSkin. Like usual, you can download the source from here .

A lot of AS3 value object generators assume that you have the source code. However sometimes you are not privy to this information :-( So here is a java program that reads the content of a jar file and creates AS3 VOs. Like this post, I'm using StringTemplate to generate the files. And this other post was very helpful too. I'm using IntelliJ as my IDE and it lets me generate an executable jar. The following is the usage: java -jar class2as3.jar jarPath packageName outputPath You can download the source code from here .

This is demonstration of a very simple custom symbol to render a graphic component on a map. Here is the application: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags" xmlns:test="com.esri.test.*" layout="absolute" > <esri:Map> <esri:GraphicsLayer> <esri:graphicProvider> <mx:ArrayCollection> <esri:Graphic> <esri:geometry> <esri:MapPoint x="45" y="45"/> </esri:geometry> <esri:symbol> <test:CustomSymbol/> </esri:symbol> </esri:Graphic> </mx:ArrayCollection> ...
