Newbie layout help.

Question

I have an object (coming from a ColdFusion CFC) that contains
an array
of objects that can be 28, 35 or 42 elements long. I would
like to
display this in a grid 7 columns wide and 4, 5 or 6 rows as
appropriate.
Each of these objects will contain a record set or another
array of
objects (I have not decided yet) that I will then want to
pass to a
tilelist inside each grid cell.
I can not see how to even start this kind of display. Any
help would be
most appreciated.

Ok, I have a custom control created to handle the formating
inside each
of my gridItem. I want to pass the day object that is the
current item
of the Repeater into this custom control. How do I define the
variable
in side my custom control to accept on object of type "Day"
defined in a
Day.as file?
That is what the repeater currentItem will pass in if it is
looping over
an array of Day object correct?
<mx:Repeater
id="dayCells"
dataProvider="{testStuff}"
startingIndex="{weekRows.currentItem}"
count="7">
<mx:GridItem width="14%">
<ns1:dayFormat2 dayData="{dayCells.currentItem}" />
</mx:GridItem>
</mx:Repeater>
