Basically it's a *really* hard thing to do, in part due to its nature, in part due to the way Flex does some things. I built something similar, but more specialised (lays out "snapin" components), finds the best order to use the space most efficiently, and increases the size on them so they line up horizontally. It's difficult and it took about a week. I'd say the solution is to relax some of the requirements :)
