Ok, that was it.
So now I have some thoughts and some questions.
1. Very Nice!
2. Can the UI be built in a declarative (i.e. MXML) kind of way?
3. Does your container system operate on a relative basis? By that I mean:
a. can you specify a containers size as a percentage of its parent?
b. if you resize a container can that cause its siblings to resize
automatically. For
example a resizing bar between two containers where resizing
shrinks one container
and grows the other.
Thanks
