I'm slow getting to these emails, so if I've missed any, I apologize.
After this last two weeks I've come to the realization that the FlexBox CSS
style is greatly more flexible(no pun intended twice) than most of what we have
in AS. I could write a pile of examples for most common layouts if it had
enough interest. These were styles I ended up assigning using CSS selectors
assigned to MXML via the className property. I could even fix formatting
issues I was having in Jewel by overriding the styles this way.
If you really wanted to use a max width without adding coding overhead to the
SDK you could just add in CSS file selector to use max-width.
.MyStyle
{
Max:width: 200px;
}
<j:VGroup className="MyStyle">
<child />
<child />
</ j:VGroup>
It would cut off any overflow by default. If you'd prefer you could use the
"flex-wrap: wrap" to have it wrap the children in the cross axis direction.
I'll have to add more to the email later on, but this part can go out now.
Could make a very large wiki page on layout in MXML with the flexbox logic.

Very interesting, could you provide some code example so I can understand
the concept? I'm interested in that technique
thanks
