Well, constraint layout is really important. I’m fine with using css for JS output, but that’s not going to help for a swf first workflow.
I’d be happy to do some work on this, but frankly, I’m not sure where to start. If you could give me some pointers, it might help. I’ll try and look at the current layout beads and see if I can understand them.
