Hi all,  
I need to make my own timeline (like) component control in flash, ad I can’t find anthing off the shelf. It needs to be similar to the Flash environment Timeline,  
Any tips on how to get started.  
I’m considering using a scroll pane and adding the cells dynamically, however as the timeline would grow horizontally, I expect I will run out of space quickly.  
Some ideas would be great.

Regards  
Colin
