I have a lot of widgets and my dashboard in Flex Viewer 2 has gotten cluttered. How can I add menus to the dashboard rather than buttons to organize the widgets? Any help will be appreciated.

You need to add your widgets to the config="widgets/HeaderController/**HeaderControllerWidget.xml

- Thank you very much for the reply but I am not blessed with the answer yet. The 'Good Example' link does not work. It pops up message saying 'SWF is not a loadable module'. Please can you provide me another good example link or something useful.Omega Cancer– Omega Cancer2011-04-19 03:40:08 +00:00Commented Apr 19, 2011 at 3:40

You can use <widgetgroup> to group several widgets shown in the HeaderController into one group/folder.
You can see a live example at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/live/index.html?config=config-all.xml
It's also described in the documentation at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Widgets_in_the_ArcGIS_Viewer_for_Flex/01m30000001v000000/ http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/The_Widget_Container_tag/01m300000003000000/
<widgetcontainer layout="float"> <widgetgroup label="Locators"> <widget label="Find U.S. address" icon="assets/images/i_target.png" config="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget_US.xml" url="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget.swf"/> <widget label="Find European addresses" icon="assets/images/i_pin2.png" config="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget_EU.xml" url="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget.swf"/> ... </widgetgroup> </widgetcontainer>
