Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on how to easily accomplish the following task.
I already have a Flex app that displays four thumbnail images in a
vbox on the right side, and when I click on one, that image is
displayed in a larger format within the same app (left of the vbox).

What I'd like to do next is place a border/rectangle around the
thumbnail, and have that border move down to the next thumbnail using
a timer. So, I have a couple questions: (see the MTV header)

1. Is it best to use a custom image class with border or is it better
to use drawRect to place a rectangle over the mx:Image? Or use a
TileList instead of vbox and make the timer automatically scroll
through the thumbs?


I basically want to accomplish something similar to the animated
marquee/header on mtv.com (is the effect they use on the images
mx.effects.move?)

...and I'm a beginner with any custom components and animation - so
any clues/help would be appreciated.

Thanks
