Method detail

public function layoutChildren(target:DisplayObjectContainer, bounds:Rectangle):Rectangle

Children of the target DisplayObjectContainer will be positioned and sized based on a specified rectangle. There is no requirement that the children remain entirely within that rectangle.

Returns the actual rectangular region in which the laid out children will appear. This may be larger or smaller than the suggested rectangle. This returned value is expected to be used by container components to determine if scrollbars are needed.

Parameters
target:DisplayObjectContainer — The DisplayObjectContainer whose children will be laid out.
 
bounds:Rectangle — The rectangular region in which the children should be laid out.

Returns
Rectangle — The actual region in which the children are contained.
