@nerdtron , no problems. I think for this example that flex would be the best and easiest. However, when I tried doing it, I had a brain freeze! Its been a long time since I have done it. Pls dont take that as it is hard to do. Once you have it in your head, normally its simple.
I am sure someone else here will chime in with the correct way to set the flex settings.
The example I have put below is still a good a good way to know. Its using a custom view. One of the callbacks you get when you have a Custom View Class is layout. Its called by the ui automatically (if you have a method called layout) when you need to respond to changes in your views height or width. Its worth having a read through the docs about Custom Views.
They are easy to make and give you a lot more flexibility and some extra functionality.
Anyway, I hope this also helps
