In these situations (assuming I understand the problem), the first consideration is "what does the browser do?". So if I take a bunch of divs, give them explicit sizes and give them margins do you get what you expect/want? There are some funny rules on how margins work in CSS in the browser, so setting marginRight=0px may be part of the solution. The marginLeft would give you space between the items.
We often just pull up an HTML Editor or JSFiddle and create the HTML and CSS we need to create the UI we want. Then the goal is to write FlexJS code to programmatically create that HTML and CSS. Sometimes creating the HTML and CSS is hard and StackOverflow is full of complaints about how to do it. Then our job is to write JS to implement one of the suggested solutions. I imagine that Josh wrote his layouts with Gap because it was just too painful to do it with just HTML and CSS. That's reasonable, but the trade-off is that it might not be using standard CSS. Once you get something works, we next emulate that in Flash and we're not worried as much about how that performs. We simply have to emulate browser behavior in Flash whether we like it or not, unless you can write SWF-specific code that performs better.
