I was playing around with custom building custom item renderers today in flex and ran into a rather annoying problem: when using multiple item renderers in a single list or datagrid component, all of the items inherit the height and width properties of the first item that gets added to the list/datagrid. In my case, I wanted the first item added to be only 25px in height, and have subsequent items be of varying heights. I searched far and wide across the “google-verse” (insert copyright logo here) and found a bunch of solutions that discussed having to create your own custom list component to achieve the desired result, then I came across the holy grail, a property of the list component that would solve all of my problems, the answer… “variableRowHeight=’true’”. Once I set that on my list components all of the list items were allowed to have their own unique height. WOOH!
