I've been tasked/ proposed to deliver a new project involving two
displayObjects... say 2 squares. Between those squares, I need to show a
connecting relationship of hierarchy. So, I need to have a visual line
connecting the 2 objects.

Does anyone know if there is already a class for this in Flex or what I might
use to demo this quickly. Never done this sort of data visualization before,
but the math can't be to hard.

Update: I think this would involve using the mx:Point object(to calculate the
distance btw) in relation to an mx:Rectangle or other displayObject. I think
then I'd be able to use flash drawing api to link the two objects together. If
that sounds wrong, post a better alternative.

I think there is something here http://flexbox.mrinalwadhwa.com/, but I
don't have time to search through it for you.

HTH;

Flexbox is cool. I think pretty much figured this out though. Thanks, might post back with the code later.
