Shapefile to be displayed on flex map

[SamerToukan]

Hello! Newbie to flex and flash and am struggling trying to, display a shape file on a map. I have the files located in a directory and am trying to get it to go to the site grab the file and display it.

Any help is much appreciated!
I am using flash builder 4.5 and latest version of flex.

Hello Samer,

Most map viewers require a Mapping Server to serve either dynamic content or static tiles. ESRI's Flex API is no different, it requires REST endpoints (generally, although some other formats are acceptable) primarily created by ArcServer.

You will need to setup an ArcServer implementation before you can serve your own shapefiles to the Flex API.
