I've been trying to get the Flow.as code working in Flex 2... I've discovered that layoutChildren() is now updateDisplayList() and that the Container class is now under mx.core.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for something else that might have changed? Or even if there is a new way to do this with the new Flex 2 containers.
