Re: [flexcoders] Content layout suggestions?

[Rachel Maxim]

Troy - As far as organization goes, look into custom components. They can be written with MXML, and they sort of work like "includes" so that you can split your application into logical, manageably sized files. Your Application file just pulls it all together.

For my first Flex project, I'm developing a Flex version of an AS2project I've done. The client is looking to do an update, and thisseems like a good time to move it to Flex. It has been easy to layoutthe interface and wire it up (of course), but I'm not clear on how
best to use the Flex metaphor for the content layout, and am seekingsuggestions, links, or whatever.Basically, it is training content, and takes the form of a bunch of"interactive slide pages", with some ancillary functionality already
provided by the rest of the interface.So, what I'm wondering is how to manage and layout the actual content.Something like a customized ViewStack for each "chapter"? Some of itwill be linked SWF files, but not all of it, and I'd like to keep
things as easy to work with as possible, since there will be a fairamount of content. I would think that a single enormous applicationfile is not a good way to encapsulate things. In Flash, most of thesesame things were handled with symbols in the library, and the symbols
were swapped in and out programatically. I'd like to come up withsomething which works similarly, or better understand how to makeprojects like this in a Flex workflow.TIA.--TroyRPSystems, Ltd.
