creating static frame and changing content pages in flex

I need to create a static frame and a changing content... currently envisaged as frame containing the side panel and header and footer content.

The content panel will call mxml based on the content sought. Two questions a) how is the frame paradigm- with static frame "containing" other content done. I dont want to repeat the he开发者_Python百科ader and footer logic in every 'content section' code? b) how is the hyperlinking between content sections done- using 'states' seems convoluted

Any guidance around this will be appreciated

I don't know which version of flex you are using, but I'm advising to use latest Flex 4 codename Gumbo, with next features:

read about states

and about containers

and how to build modules too

Hope it will help you, but anyway you should share your ideas more clearly and put some startup code, so we could assist you to get your goals done.

Ok- managed to get this right

I added the 100% height and width to the moduleloader and it fills the container and resizes fine... not sure why but this has resolved the endless animation also

thanks folks
