I am putting more work into my Layout Organizers project for various reasons. First, this code has already been quite helpful on a couple projects. Second, it is going to be worked in to a really cool open source Flex library. There are still a ton of features that need to be added and issues that need to be resolved, but progress is definitely being made. I spent time working on more primitive layout organizers that will be more helpful on everyday projects. The four new organizers are not anything fancy, but they will most likely be the most used out of all the ones I write.

A while back, I posted a
basic example of layout organizers and
layout organizers applied to video. I kept talking about how cool I considered this idea to be, yet I had yet to truly explain the idea and (more importantly) the source code for people to download. I wanted to make sure the code was at a good spot before releasing it; I believe that is now the case. You will find examples, the basic gist on how it works and some possible reasons why layout organizers may just make your life easier.

Last week, I showcased an idea of Flash layout organizers (source code is coming), that acts loosely the same as Flex containers. I have already started to use this basic idea and it has so far worked out very nicely for me. After posting my little experiment, I instantly thought of mashing up the layout organizer experiment with the Flash video sampler experiment I did a couple months back. The current example of bringing the two together is overly simplistic to better give the idea of what is happening, but I can already see tremendous potential for fun with this technique.
