Flex clarification needed: width, min(max)Width, explicitWidth, explicitMin(Max)Width, measuredWidth, measuredMinWidth, percentWidth?

Adobe's article is a good reference. The charts at the bottom describe the differences between dimensions and explicit dimensions, as well as max, min, and default dimensions There are basically four ways a developer can size a component: Auto : Let Flex pick the size by not specifying dimensions Pixels : Set an exact pixel size, using the height and width properties Percent : Set the size to be a percentage of the parent container Constraint : Create a constraint-based layout (usually done by anchoring the sides or center of a child component to some part of the viewable region of its container) Unless you are creating a custom Flex component, the height width percentHeight and percentWidth properties are the only attributes needed to configure a component's dimensions Gordon Smith of the Flex SDK Team explains it this way: For historical reasons related to ease-of-use consideration, the "width" property does double duty. As a setter, it sets the explicitWidth.As a getter, it returns the actual width In other words, it sounds like height and width manage these lower-level properties for you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
