We have created a Flex Project called “FlexFMSnippets,” which contains nine simple applications, each demonstrating one or two FlexFM techniques.
We have also created a companion FileMaker file called “Hopper” which contains schema to support demos of those FlexFM features that cannot be demonstrated on the simple FMServer_Sample file.
Download Hopper.fp7
You will need to unzip the Hopper.fp7 and host it on your localhost FileMaker Server. See “FileMaker Server 9 Orientation” for a review of how to access the FileMaker Server Admin Console.
From page 70 of fms9_getting_started_en.pdf
Uploading a database
Use the FileMaker Server Upload Database assistant to transfer FileMaker Pro database files from your computer’s file system to FileMaker Server. You can copy database files from a Windows or Mac OS computer that is on the same network as the FileMaker Server computer.
The Upload Database assistant copies the specified database files to a FileMaker Server folder and sets file permissions and privileges so that you can access the databases after they are uploaded. To start the Upload Database assistant, choose the Admin Console Server menu > Upload Database.
You don’t need to unzip FlexFMSnippets, as Flex Builder can import from an archive. You will need to import FlexFMSnippets into your Flex Builder Workspace, and make sure the Library Path is intact for FlexFM. See “Install FlexFM” for a review of how to import a Flex project into Flex Builder.
Download FlexFMSnippets
With FlexFMSnippets and FlexFM properly installed, and with FMServer_Sample.fp7 and Hopper.fp7 properly hosted on your localhost, you should be able to run any of the nine FlexFMSnippets applications directly from Flex Builder.
Remember: If you are having trouble getting applications with proper class syntax to compile and run, it’s a good idea to first look at the Library paths.

Hi,
I have a flex application, and I need to compile it to run with Flash Player 7.
Someone can tell me if it’s possible to do, if it’s possible, how can I do that.
Regards.
Might be possible, but it wouldn’t be advisable. Flash Player 7 has a much more limited API, so many things you can do with Flex would simply never work.
As I’m sure you know, Flash Player 9 is the only supported player. Even if it were technically feasible, building or using a compiler that could create 7 compatible SWFs would result in such a limited subset of functions, one wonders what use it might be.

Hi.
Thanks for this great product.
I am struggling with one of the examples in FlexFMSnippets, specifially the FlexFM_containerFieldTileList.mxml example and I hope you can help me.
I am using Flex Builder 3 on the Mac.
I am unable to display the tiles of pictures, all I get is a blank frame. I can click around in the frame and get the details for the images on the right.
Looking at the ContainerFieldRenderer.mxml it looks like the table name and field name for the image is wrong, but I can not make it work even after correcting(?) it.
Any insight?
Thanks.
Andreas
I suggest you break apart the problem. The first thing you need to get working is the api query to the FileMaker Server returning the image url in your xml. Is that working for you? Can you post your command url here?
