Intstructions: Unzip source and make a new Flex Project in FB3 with the exact same name as the source folder. In FB3’s Flex Navigator, delete all the default files and folders that FB made for you in the new Flex Project. In the OS, copy the entire contents of the unzipped folder by right-click copy and then select the project in FB3’s Flex Navigator. Right-click paste should populate your new project with all the source files. Look in the src directory for the source code.

[...] Devcon [...]
Hello Jeremiah, first off let me say that all the resources you’ve given on this site are wonderful. I’m amazed there there isn’t more activity on this site. I’m in the process of learning Flex 3 and AS (I’m a 10 year FileMaker Dev veteran). These resources are a wonderful compliment to FileMaker. Please keep up the exceptional work. Now my question, by chance is there a FileMaker database that completes the FMFlex Widgets examples? Thanks again!
Good for you, giving Flex try! Unfortunately there is no companion FileMaker file to accompany the widgets. The one I used at Devcon was made to facilitate the presentation, not facilitate learning, and would not make things any clearer for someone trying to learn. If anything it may add confusion.
Not a problem, I’ll just have to think a little harder to put my own together. Ultimately that’s better anyways as it forces a deeper understanding of how it all works together.
