h1. LegendViewer: A Legend and Manager component for use with the "ESRI Flex API":http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/index.html.

This is a tool that I needed for my day to workflow. It is an update to the LegendManager tool that is part of my FlexMapTools. Once I have worked on this tool a little more, I will replace that component. This tool utilizes the new Legend REST endpoint that was added in Service Pack 1 to ESRI ArcGIS Server.

This tool also makes extensive use of "AS3Signals":https://github.com/robertpenner/as3-signals for communication between its various components. You will need to download AS3Signals into your project to use this component.

For more information about the ESRI Flex API, please visit http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/index.html

h3. Disclaimer Because ESRI has a download page for their Flex API where they ask that you register, I will not be providing the ESRI Flex API swc file. Please visit the "ESRI Flex API dowload page":http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-flex-api-how-to-download

I am not employed or affiliated with ESRI beyond being a user of their products.

Enjoy.
