Question

I am not sure if it possible or what would be the best way to archive the following in Adobe Flex 4 (I am also fine with Flex 3).

I need some kind of a tree view, but the items should be placed like a tree from top to down and not like it is done in the treeview implementation of the Flex framework. To make it more clear here an simple “graphic”:

            1
    ------------------
    2                3
--------        ----------
4      5        6        7

Is it possible to skin the Flex tree view to look like my example? If not, how create a custom component that is usable like a native Flex component (attach handlers to every node, make it skinnable) and creates structures like above.
