Not sure if you answered my question though: say you are doing a Flash
gallery, with 20 thumbnails. Each thumbnail being 180px wide. You're
thinking of a window of 800px, so with a bit of space between them,
you'll build the thing to hold 4 thumbnails per row, and there will be
5 rows.
Is, or isn't it, possible to programm the Flash so, that if the window
would be 600px wide, only 3 thumbnails would be shown per row, thus
making 7 rows instead of 5, while if the window would be 1200px wide,
there's be only 4 rows, and 6 images per row? As in 'flexible'?

From your answer, I'm guessing it isn't, and you just make each
thumbnail smaller, so there are still 4 in a row.
