Detailed Description

FlexContainer implements a subset of the flexbox spec (defined by W3C):

https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-flexbox/

It aims at providing a more efficient way to lay out, align and distribute space among items in the container, even when their size is unknown or dynamic.

FlexContainer has the ability to alter the width and height of its children (i.e. flex items) to fill the available space in the best possible way on different screen sizes. FlexContainer can expand items to fill available free space, or shrink them to prevent overflow.

Below is an illustration of the various directions and terms as applied to a flex container with the "flex direction" defined as "row".

Per-child Custom properties for script supporting:

The following custom properties of the actor are checked to decide how to lay out the actor inside the flex container.

These properties are registered dynamically to the child and are non-animatable.

| Property Name | Type | |-------------------------|-------------| | flex | float | | alignSelf | integer | | flexMargin | Vector4 |

The available values for alignSelf are: ALIGN_AUTO, ALIGN_FLEX_START, ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_FLEX_END, ALIGN_STRETCH

 "name":"icon",
 "type":"ImageView",
 "image":"image.png",
   "properties": {
     "flex":1,                        // Property to make the item to receive the specified proportion of the free space in the container.
     "alignSelf":"flexStart",         // Property to specify how the item will align along the cross axis.
     "flexMargin":[10, 10, 10, 10]    // Property to specify the space around the item.
   }
