Hi,
I would like to avoid the tags overlapping each other in this small Flex project: I've this small FLEX project: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/IVbeta1/main.html#
The items are LinkButtons. How can I check if they are colliding or not ? Thanks

A:
I think hitTestObject as seen here is what you're looking for. Then you can see if objects overlap and can change their positions accordingly.

do I have to place them on the canvas before to check if they overlap right ? I guess I'm going to have some flickering...

should work with any DisplayObject.

I meant, any TWO DisplayObject instances.

@Patrick, as to whether they have to be on the Canvas, you can also try placing them somewhere totally off the Canvas or making them visible=false.... I'd have to fire up my Flex IDE to tell you which would work, and today is not my Flex day.
