Sajid,
I have an AS2.0 class that is a lot simpler to use.
com.codext.managers.LayoutManager.initialize(panel1);
com.codext.managers.LayoutManager.initialize(panel2);
panel1.dock = "top"; // this fills the space
panel2.dock = "top"; // this fills the space under panel1 and does not
overlap
// and if you want padding
panel1.anchors = {left:50, top:50, right:50};
panel2.anchors = {left:50, top:50, right:50};
you can set anchors without using dock, but then your coordinates are
absolute and are not measured off of their docked siblings.
using these and other Code XT LayoutManager methods you can do about
everything you want where layout is concerned. Resizing is automatic as long
as you're setting the width and height rather than _width and _height.
The only issue is that this is part of a component framework I'm hoping to
release eventually so I don't want it available publically. Maybe we should
talk more about it off list. I would eventually like to get input from users
before the set is released.
