Flex Containers

Every visual component in a Flex application is inside a container, with the application itself being the outer most container. Containers can contain controls (e.g. TextArea, Label, Button) and other containers (e.g. Canvas, HBox, VBox) as children.

The mx.containers package defines the base container classes provided by Flex.
