Does it not work to make the itemRenderer width/height "100%"? This is will make each item take up all it's available space equally divided between each item. If you do not want the items equally divided, you can set them to different percentages, or override the updateDisplayList function within the itemRenderer and calculate it's size based on the size of the parent. Hope this helps.
