Hi Tracy, Yesterday, Doug McCune completed a working layout and also included a CSS Style.
Thank you for everyone's many suggestions and thoughtful assistance. I shall use the code provided by Doug McCune as well as all the code and references shared with me, so that I may further my knowledge of Flex. Thank you, everyone.
