The Container element controls the layout characteristics of child components. The container gives a large amount of control in keeping track of objects and can hold a variety of items. It keeps track of cml children through it's childlist object. The Container element supports thhe ILayout interface. Create a layout and use the applyLayout() method of the container to arrange the child display objects according to the layout definition.
