Thanks Andreas, Ill have a look at
your code. On Friday I ended up positioning the Tile area with hard coded X
and Y values (not desirable, but it works) so that it starts below the title
bar. Thanks for the help!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Layout
problems in Flex 2
Hi Jason, good to see you around here too!
This is all very new to me too, but as far as I
see the Tile acts very much
like a very basic HTML table in which cells cannot
be merged: basically all
cells in a row have the same height and all cells
in a column have the same
width - as a result the Tile will work best when
used for items with a
certain similarity in size.
In your example the first element in the Tile is
the ControlBar which
spreads over the entire width of the base canvas -
if the Tile can 'flow
naturally' it will in this case consist of 3 rows
and only 1 column - this
according to the 'law' that all cells in a column
have the same width.
Now the Tile allows us to change the 'natural flow'
- e.g. by setting the
tileWidth property (as you do). This will make
that the cell size will not
adapt to the size of the element inside but will
crop it to the given value:
panels will appear on top of the ControlBar, left
edge of the first one at
x=200, the second one at x=400, as the tileWidth
is set to 200.
To avoid this, I'd suggest to remove the
ControlBar from the Tile: it's
probably just too wide and dissimilar to give good
results. In this scenario
it is not necessary to set the tileWidth: this has
the advantage that the
Tile Layout will adapt automatically when the
panels change size. See code
below.

Subject: [flexcoders] Layout problems in Flex 2
Getting to know Flexbuilder 2. Having
problems getting my panels to lay out
right in a tiled area.
See: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/AFDW/AFDWTOC.swf
I would like the panels to be left-justified and
below the application bar.
My script follows. The problem begins in line 36
where the panel repeater
starts. Any help is much appreciated.
