Flex 4 Concentric Layout
Layouts in Flex 4 are decoupled from containers and its quite simple to define your own layout. Yesterday I wrote ConcentricLayout.
ConcentricLayout arranges layout elements in such a way that their centers are aligned and their size sequentially decreases. The width of each layout element is less than the previous element by a value specified using the horizontalGap property and the height of each layout element is less than the previous element by a value specified using the verticalGap property. If the element has an explicit width or an explicit height it still aligns its center but is not resized. You can tell the layout to force a resize of all elements and ignore their explicitly specified size using the forceResize flag
Here’s a quick example:

This is where OpenLazlo was really powerful, other then a beautiful syntax (unlike the current ActionScript + MXML mélange)
This + event bubbling aka Mate allows for a good RIA app realizable in Flex.
