FMX files are the Fire Monkey Equivalent of Delphi's VCL DFM form files in that they determine the layout and properties of the objects added to the form at design time.

 

If you are starting a Fire Monkey Form from scratch you will probably never be interested in the contents of the FMX file but if you have a VCL form code which you wish to port to a Fire Monkey application it is nice to take as much of the code as possible across and ideally this includes the form layout. Because Fire Monkey visual objects and their properties are very similar in name to the equivalent VCL components a lot can be automatically ported.
