Drawable Canvas

The component itself is a transparent canvas (background alpha = 0), which means that you can put it on top of anything you like in order to be able to draw anywhere.
On the mouse down event I add a mouse move listener which adds points to an array, and I remove the listener on the mouse up event. These arrays are the lines.
In the updateDisplayList method I loop through all the held arrays and draw them onto the canvas.

Flex FlowBox Container

Awesome container i've been looking for!!!

A container which would lay its child components out in a horizontal manner like an HBox, but unlike an HBox, it needed to wrap the child components into a new row when they exceeded the available width. If the available height was exceeded, the container should then grow downwards if the height property has not been set to a constrained value. If the height is constrained, then scrollbars should appear

scaleContent property is true, but the UILoader is not resized ?

Resizes the component to the requested size. If the scaleContent property is set to true, the UILoader is not resized.



import fl.containers.UILoader;

var myUILoader:UILoader = new UILoader();
myUILoader.source = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image2.jpg";
myUILoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
addChild(myUILoader);

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var uiLdr:UILoader = event.currentTarget as UILoader;
var image:DisplayObject = uiLdr.content as DisplayObject;
trace("UILoader:", uiLdr.width, uiLdr.height); // 100 100
trace("UILoader.content:", image.width, image.height); // 400 267
uiLdr.setSize(image.width, image.height);
uiLdr.move((stage.stageWidth - image.width) / 2, (stage.stageHeight - image.height) / 2);
}
