title: astra as3 panel layout
body: <p>I'm trying to create a layout not too different from the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/astra-flash/layout-containers/examples/FeedReader/FeedReader.html" rel="nofollow">feed reader sample</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm having is that I'm finding the documentation unclear. There are so many different types of layouts that I don't know which one to use when.</p>
  
  <p>In the example, on the right side there are a few horizontal panels: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>[feedToolbar(HboxPane)]</li>
  <li>[feedItemsGrid(Datagrid)]</li>
  <li>[filterToolbar(HBox)]</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>this does not include the details panel and the resize handle.</em></p>
  
  <p>I would like to swap the DataGrid with my custom content which is basically a sprite. The problem I have is that I cannot just include a sprite, because it does some funky resizing. I would like the scroll bar to appear when the content is too tall, and have have the same skin for the background as the DataGrid.</p>
