[flexcoders] interface layout help

2008-12-06 Thread stinasius
hi guys i am seeking opinions on how to layout an interface of an app
i am developing. the front is laid out as follows
1) search box on the left with search criteria
2) a datagrid and tabnavigator in the middle
3) a map and a video player on the right

now the data grid gets results form a database which are filtered
using the search interface and then the details from the data grid
show up in the tab navigator and also the map and player are hooked up
to the data grid. is it good to have them all showing at once or there
is a more professional way to do this? i wish it was possible to send
a screen shot of the interface i have now. anyhw need advise on how
best to lay it out.thanks

From what you say it sounds about right as it is. I think to know if you can 
do better, you'd need to describe the usage pattern a bit more.
