Thanks for answering my question. I read both of these links before. Despite the fact they mention how data types are converted, how arrays are handled in conversions, how to hide attributes, how to register a class, how getters and setters effect items I can't find where it states what you did.

In terms of Flex dedicated sites you've got a couple of blogs, CFlex and Flex Authority. There's a long way to go! Your right. I didn't start messing with Flash until version 3 in school, and didn't start actually utilizing it for development projects until version 5. Flex is at 1.5...

- remote shared libraries, at least in Flash, are downloaded once; they are just like loaded movies in that they are cached, but in RSL's case, it's treated (for code purposes) as the same SWF. It should use the cached SWF each time, same as loadMovie (unless you append a random date;

I haven't even read through most of your example but I'm guessing what you need to do is specify minHeight on a few of your inner VBoxes. By specifying minHeight some of the sizing will get forced down into the inner boxes instead of propagating outward. Even a minHeight of 0 should do it.
