Look at the ListItemRenderer.as or DataGridItemRenderer.as, specifically the "measure()" method. You will need to do that in your renderer.
In fact, I might advise starting with that code for any renderer, and modifying it as needed.

However, the text in the textArea is more than the height of the row and I am getting scrollbars on the textArea component even though i am using variableRowHeight=true. When I remove the item renderer the row height changes so that there is no scrollbar in the cell. How can I have the entire contents of the cell be displayed w/o scrollbars and at the same time change the background color of the cell. I hope the question is clear Thanks
