I am all for it. I have implemented that for JavaScript before. My
problem with the javascript implementation is to make it "easy". In
other words: Without a "id" it is not possible to implement a generic
ID. I have started with a implementation of JavaScript Modules but
haven't had time to finish back then [1].

Martin.

Hello Erik,
real world units are no problem in css/javascript allowing "cm". In Flex
the problem is that the Flash Player does not offer proper DPI (as you
mentioned). That means we need "workarounds" it can be implemented within
the Web using ExternalInterface - a JavaScript bridge.
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. There is just no
standard solution for that available in Flex.....
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.
