I have an interesting observation and the solution to the problem ... In the example posted below, I had the actual size of the image to be 1 px x 20 px.
In normal circumstances, for eg <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Image width="100%" height="100%" source="@Embed ('something.gif')" /> </mx:Application> the image would stretch to 100% of the screen (application). On the other hand, if I did the same in the cellRenderer, the 100% would actually mean 100% OF THE IMAGE SIZE - NOT THE CONTAINER. So when, I was passing 98%, the value being set was 98% of 1px and that is .98px (why blame anybody!). Thats the reason it was not working. My workaround is to create the image with atleast 100px width, so that even 1% would translate to 1px. Huh!
