hi,

I want to build a tag cloud like this one in my Flex application. See image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/tagCloud.png

At the moment I have the tags (that are mx.controls.LinkButtons) added at the same position and having different sizes according to values (stored in an ArrayComponent).

In my visualization, the orange tags are supposed to be listed vertically in the middle. The gray tags should be at different distances (according to stored numeric values).

I want to avoid overlapping and cluttering.

How do you suggest to compute x and y of the gray tags taking care about:

• the distances from orange tags
• avoid overlapping between them

thanks
