Version 2.1 of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex is now available.
It has been in beta since June, but this is the first “real” release of the Flex Viewer.
There are a lot of changes since the beta versions, so please download the latest version.
We’ve added two new widgets: the NavigationWidget and the CoordinateWidget.
All other widgets have been improved.
For a complete list of what’s new, improved, changed, fixed, and removed please
read the What’s New.
If you created your own widgets, you need to recompile your widgets.
Most likely you will need to update the code as well. Please read migrating code from beta carefully.
The ArcGIS Viewer for Flex is a newly released ready-to-deploy viewer application.
It is configurable, so you can easily add tools and data content without programming.
You can also extend its functionality with custom widgets available from the Esri community, or create custom widgets yourself with the ArcGIS API for Flex.
The ArcGIS Viewer for Flex is ideal if you want more control over the look and feel of your application.
It is also a good solution if you want to host your own Web mapping applications.

I tried downloading Flex 2.1 to my DESKTOP computer on my Lan. When I try to run the viewer in Firefox it says it can’t access my Server? Do I have to load it on my Server? Janie Goddard
you don’t need to actually run it on a webserver like iis or apache, you can just compile it run it from your browser in the local directory it compiles to. Just change your build settings.
how do i install on computer? i downloaded the .zip file but there is no .exe file to run…
No need to install, just unzip and copy. See “Getting Started” in the Resource Center for the Flex Viewer:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#gettingstarted.htm
(or the installation instructions in the readme.txt in the .zip file)
Do you have any resources that I can read regarding securing my flex viewer 2.1 site? I need to put a username and password log in on the website. I’m using Microsoft server 2008 with .NET and IIS. Thanks.
