Do pop-ups really work in Flexviewer 2.4?

Question

I am trying to configure pop-ups using this code:

<layer label="Lansdslide Layers" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha=".75"
                url="http://yoururl/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hazards/SR2/MapServer/"/>
                <sublayer id="1" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Historic_Landslide_Points.xml"/>
                <sublayer id="2" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Scarps.xml"/>
                <sublayer id="3" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Scarps_Flanks.xml"/>

that call simple xmls like PopUp_Demographics_BlockGroups.xml found in the sample flexviewer, but with the fields named appropriately for my layers

I've also tried following this esri forum with closing the sublayer element and get the error:

http response status: 200

Fault code: Client.CouldNotDecode

Fault info: Error #1085

Fault details: null

Does anyone have a url that shows pop-ups really working?

Answer 1

You have to remove the closing slash on the url line. The layer tag doesn't close (on sublayers) until after the last sublayer. That is the closing slash for the layer tag.

code: 
<layer label="Lansdslide Layers" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha=".75"
                url="http://yoururl/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hazards/SR2/MapServer/">
                <sublayer id="1" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Historic_Landslide_Points.xml"/>
                <sublayer id="2" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Scarps.xml"/>
                <sublayer id="3" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Scarps_Flanks.xml"/>
</layer>

Answer 2

I had the same problem but resolved it by identifying that some of the fields I declared in the XML did not match the fields provided by the service. In particular within the title tag, I had indicated {NAME} when in fact the field provided by the services was {STATE}. That change fixed the issue for me.

The Popups work well just be sure to note that if your table of contents (in arcmap) looks like this:

Data Frame:

Layer Group Layer Group Shapefile1 Layer Group Shapefile2

then your sublayers in the config.xml will look like this:
