I have never tried to do anything like this but just thinking off the top of my head...
Try skinning components in Flex. http://www.davidflatley.com/2007/12/17/programmatic-button-skins-in-flex-3/ may be a good starting point.

Have multiple sizes of graphics available and check the width of the screen and the number of icons and pick an appropriate size to show. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "James" <garymoorcroft_...@...> wrote: > > Heres an image of my icons which is basically what I'm after. > > http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd147/jimmyoneshot/theicons.jpg > > The only difference is these are all just static ones I put in myself, now I > need them to be dynamic i.e. the user can add and remove icons which is why I > need it to resize.
