Can anyone point me to a good Actionscript 3 class that handles "masonry" style layouts ala the ted.com homepage?
Short of finished code, can anyone describe / summarize an efficient algorithm that handles this effect? Searches turn up arcane articles about kd-trees and other such stuff that's way over my head.
The jQuery Masonry plugin looks great, but I tried reverse engineering it without much success.
Thanks in advance!
this doesn't do exactly what you want but it's somewhat in the way:

having 3 or 4 fixed sizes for boxes will help for sure :)
