Mosaic - AS3 Layout Library

===========================

Helper to provide modular alignment between objects.  

Each object can be bound to just one other object. New binds will redefine the old one.

Usage

-----

```

  var a = new Mosaic();

  a.tile(Mosaic.BOTTOM_RIGHT, Mosaic.TOP_LEFT, sprite1, sprite2);

```

You can also add a chain of elements, using the same pair of parameters:

```

  a.tile(Mosaic.BOTTOM_RIGHT, Mosaic.BOTTOM_LEFT, sprite1, sprite2, sprite3, sprite4);

```

You can use the contract form:

```

  a.tile("br", "bl", sprite1, sprite2, sprite3, sprite4);

```

To remove:

```

  a.untile(sprite2);

```

If there are elements bound to the removed element, they will realign "falling"

in the place of the unbound element.

Note that normal `addChild()` also works, but it's automatically done on `tile()`:

```

  a.addChild(sprite1);

```

The Mosaic object supports also an Array-like structure, using this syntax:

```

  a.array.name(Mosaic.BOTTOM_RIGHT, Mosaic.TOP_LEFT);

  a.array.name.push(sprite1);

  obj = a.array.name.pop();

  obj = a.array.name.shift();

  a.array.name.unshift(sprite2);

  a.array.splice(2, 1, sprite3, sprite4);

  a.array.name[2]; // Positional get (arrya index)

  a.array.name["item"]; // Name get (getChildByName shortcut)

```

The Mosaic object supports also a "fast" creation for Display Objects, using `mold()`:

```

  var obj = Mosaic.mold(TextField, "name", { prop1: "data", onEvent: function(){}, ... })

  a.array.name.mold(

    [TextField, "name1", { prop1: "data", onEvent: function(){}, ... }],

    [TextField, "name2", { prop1: "data", onEvent: function(){}, ... }],

  );

```
