Pan/Extent Control for ArcGIS Flex API with history management

Posted in Uncategorized on April 26th, 2009 by admin – 1 Comment

If you’ve ever used the ArcGIS API to create maps for your Flex apps, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the lack of a pan or extent control. I know I have. I was so envious of the Google maps guys with their fancy, smancy, circle thing in the top, left corner that I decided to remedy the situation myself. Hell, I think I might have even out done them. At least, I’ve never seen a Google map control that lets you step forwards and backwards through your navigation history. Eat my shorts Google! You can view an sample application here. View source is enabled on the demo but it looks like you have to right click on the toggle button bar in the top, right corner because the ESRI controls provide their own context menus. You can download the source here.
