So this part should be easy as we can just store a JS string and execute it with EI and wrap that all in a class that we can use in UI components to do the appropriate width/height assignments. I don't think that would be a big deal, we should be able to just poll for that value from the browser once in Flex browser based apps. > It can be implemented in AIR using NativeExtensions.

If we wrote an ANE that covered all the OSs we need to cover we could apply it as a behavior as we've discussed in other threads giving a component the capability of reading its correct width and height values in Flex based AIR applications. I think that would be a nice feature. Its not going to create UIs that are universal to all types of screen sizes from a single layout, but it'll make applying designs more predictable and hopefully much more accurate. I think its something worth investigating. -- Omar Gonzalez s9tpep...@apache.org Apache Flex PPMC Member
