About layout containers

A layout container defines a rectangular region of the Adobe Flash Player drawing surface and controls the sizing and positioning of the child controls and child containers defined within it. For example, a Form layout container sizes and positions its children in a layout similar to an HTML form.

To use a layout container, you create the container, and then add the components that define your application.

Flex provides the following layout containers:

• Canvas layout container
