In the simple Flex 4 web application below -
is it possible to change the custom item renderer MyRenderer
, so that it wraps the too long lines?
TestApp.mxml:

import mx.collections.ArrayList;
private static const MONTHS:ArrayList = new ArrayList([
"1 January is a beautyful month",
"2 February is a beautyful month",
"3 March is a beautyful month",
"4 April is a beautyful month",
"5 May is a beautyful month",
"6 June is a beautyful month",
"7 July is a beautyful month",
"8 August is a beautyful month",
"9 September is a beautyful month",
"10 October is a beautyful month",
"11 November is a beautyful month",
"12 December is a beautyful month"
]);
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:List id="myList"
width="60"
dataProvider="{MONTHS}"
itemRenderer="MyRenderer" />
</s:Application>

public var myColor:uint = 0xFFFFFF;
override public function set label(value:String):void
{
super.label = value;
labelDisplay.text = label;
// var list:List = owner as List;
// if (list)
// labelDisplay.width = list.width;
if (label.indexOf("June") >= 0)
myColor = 0xFF0000;
else if (label.indexOf("July") >= 0)
myColor = 0x00FF00;
else if (label.indexOf("August") >= 0)
myColor = 0x0000FF;
else
myColor = 0xFFFFFF;
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Rect width="100%" height="100%">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor color="{myColor}" />
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
<s:Label id="labelDisplay" />
</s:ItemRenderer>
UPDATE 2:
I need same as in the Creating multi-line list rows with variable row heights blog - but for the spark.components.List which doesn't have the wordWrap
property anymore.
UPDATE 3:
Actually after RIAStar answered my question (thanks!), my problems have just started - when I now call the myList.ensureIndexIsVisible(MONTHS.length - 1);
it doesn't really scroll to the bottom.
I have prepared a new question: List with multilined (word wrapping) item renderer - how to scroll to the bottom? With test case and screenshots
You can use VerticalLayout's variableRowHeight property for that. Something like this:
<s:List id="myList" width="60" dataProvider="{MONTHS}" itemRenderer="MyRenderer">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout variableRowHeight="true"
horizontalAlign="justify"
requestedMinRowCount="5"/>
</s:layout>
</s:List>
Furthermore, the Label in your ItemRenderer can take up all the horizontal space it wants. You should constrain its width
. For example:
<s:Label width="100%"/>
