Gridbag Layout In Flex - Looking for canvasgrid

Question

Hello,
I found a posting about a layout mechanism call canvasgrid,
based on the gridbag layout principle. It is documented at
Mannu's Blog.
It is a very effective layout, but the download is broken, and so
If anyone happens to have his open source reference The source
filename is canvasgrid_v0.3.1.zip, and it was originally located
at:
http://tasmania.globat.com/~mannu.info/flex/canvasgrid_v0.3.1.zip
If anyone happens to be a code squirel, like myself, and has
a copy of this, that would be great. I will make it a part of the
flexlib, just because it's so usefull.

Hi, You can try this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
import mx.core.MovieClipAsset;
public class GameSymbols extends MovieClip {
[Embed(source='gameSymbols.swf', symbol='Coffee')]
private var CoffeeClass:Class;
//CoffeeClass represents the embedded symbol.
public function GameSymbols() {
//Flex defines CoffeClass as a reference to a subclass of
//SpriteAsset class - for single-frame SWF files or
//MovieClipAsset class - for multiframe SWF files.
var myCoffee:SpriteAsset = new CoffeeClass() as SpriteAsset;
//var myCoffee:MovieClipAsset = new CoffeeClass() as
MovieClipAsset;
//You can manipulate the embedded Symbol by using the
methods
//and properties of the SpriteAsset or MovieClipAsset class.
myCoffee.setActualSize(50, 50);
myCoffee.x = 10;
myCoffee.y = 10;
myCoffee.alpha = 100;
myCoffee.visible = true;
addChild(myCoffee);
