[Laszlo-dev] Adding canvas resizing

[Andrew Wooldridge]

One thing you could do right now without alot of work is create the
application within a laszlo window (even if you dont do this, you
might use this to test your resizing code).

Here's an example:

click on "constraints" then "constraints basics"


Or better yet:

So the idea might be create the flash window as big as you need, then
use a window inside flash to make your resizable application.

Just my 2cents.
