I think my goal was to utilize Flex... to see its capabilities... to learn and move forward with the use of Flex. Theoretically, I thought that it would have been something that Flex might have been able to do. With all the layouts, components, containers, controls and such, I thought that maybe Flex had something that would do this. Some time back in the history of this discussion, I came to a conclusion. Can Flex do this better than Powerpoint? No. I agree it is possible to design and develop a solution but that approach is not efficient. Bruce
