containers

The Container class implements much of the behavior of the containers in the Flex Framework. This article is broken into sections to deal with each of the pieces of functionality individually.

The Container classes in Flex are designed to hold other components and perform positioning and sizing on their behalf. The Container class itself implements many of the necessary operations for the child classes. Container extends UIComponent and adds a significant amount of additional functionality. Often, if you are searching for the root behavior of one of the specific subclasses you will find that the code actually resides in Container.
