FlexMDI Leetness

As RIAs strive to emulate conventional desktop applications, they'll tend to encounter the same hurdles that are commonly present in these desktop application interfaces. One of these hurdles is multiple child window management or in nerdspeak, Multiple Document Interface (MDI) management. The Flex framework does not currently (and rightfully so) support this need out-of-the-box, so blessed are the creators of flexmdi. This tight little open-source framework supports all the essential window management techniques you commonly find in most desktop applications, such as window creation, destruction, movement, sizing, cascading, tiling, etc. It also appears to have a few wiz-bang transitions tossed in for good measure. So props to the flexmdi team ... I hope to encounter an application that needs a sophisticated MDI management implementation, now. =]
