Quick Note: FlowContainer

I found a couple of customized flow container in Flex. I can invest them later when my projects need.

Open Source: Resize & Move Container

flex-object-handles

User resizeable container for flex components.
Official website at: http://www.rogue-development.com/objectHandles.xml

A very common UI element found in many applications are those little square handles around an on-screen object that allow you to move & resize it. I haven't been able to find anything like that pre-built in flex, so I've started a project to develop one. It behaves as a container object so you can put any other flex component inside it and get the resizeable functionality right away.

Flex Component: FlowBox Container

I found several Flex Containers can handle automatic wrapping child component.

1. Eric Cancil version(best practice):

   This is the best I've seen.
   
2. Tony Fendall version:

   Tony's FlowBox use HBox as sub container, add child to HBox, when the HBox is full, create new one to add child. But there are some issues, especially the HBox scrollingBar appear sometime.
3. FlexLib version:
   This version handle the basic function of wrapping but limited to horizontal only and doesn't have many inherited style from box/container.

There are some more experiment like Flow Layout in Adobe cookbook and Flow Layout in Adobe Exchange By jamesjaco, but they are not coded carefully.
