Navigation widget
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/
The Navigation widget provides a comprehensive set of map navigation controls in the Viewer. It gives end users a better map navigation user experience over the default map zoom slider. It includes all the standard navigation tools that end users expect from a Web mapping application. It is located on the left side of the Viewer (default configuration) and appears on top of the map display. It becomes transparent when the cursor is not hovering over a navigation control.
Since the navigation widget is intended to be part of the Viewer UI, its <widget> tag would be referenced as an independent widget in the Viewer application configuration file, and not within a widget container.
Using the Default Map Zoom Slider
To remove the navigation widget from the Viewer UI and use the default map zoom slider, make the following changes in the Viewer application configuration file:
- remove (or comment out) the navigation widget, and
- set the zoomslidervisible property of the <map> tag to true.
The XML configuration file code sample below, shows the two conditions set in the Viewer application configuration file:
...
<!-- UI elements-->
<!-- <widget left="10" top="50" config="widgets/Navigation/NavigationWidget.xml" url="widgets/Navigation/NavigationWidget.swf"/> -->
...
<map initialextent="-14083000 3139000 -10879000 5458000" top="40" zoomslidervisible="true">
...
</map>
Test drive the Navigation widget or see its tag reference.
