Distribute is an ActionScript class where you can distribute Display Objects along a path. You can distribute using the default paths, like rectangle, triangle, polygon, circle and star. Or you can create your own path very easily.

To distribute your children, do this:
Distribute.rectangle(items : Array, width : int, height : int, align : String = DistributeAlign.TOP_LEFT);

You can orient your objects to the path like this:
Distribute.rectangle(items, 400, 200).orientToPath();

Feel free to use whatever you want.
