AS3: Layout class for Flash CS3

Once again Senocular present us some examples of Flash CS3, this time handling the Layout Class. For those don’t know, this class let you constrain objects to the top, right, bottom, left, or center them horizontally or vertically within a layout. There are also controls for height and width as well as a property for maintaining aspect ratio.

You can find the examples and documentation here.
