The documentation has most of this covered... See this topic on creating Advanced Visual components, and all the sub-topics. Read several times. Example is in there too. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001721.html
This page specifically has an example on overriding the layout mechanism of the VBox container: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001737.html Here's a thread in flex-coders discussing the "correct" way to dynamically add child components to a custom container: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/47695 That should be enough to get you going (if you read, try, re-read, etc...) good luck!
