Read the doc on custom components. The lifecycle methods (commitProperties, measure, updateDisplayList are designed to handle this kind of problem.

Inside that flowContainer I dynamically fill it with labels (one label per phrase) via an addChild(). currently I do not define a height on the flowContainer. The vbox and its parent make up a itemRenderer component for a list. Is it possible to get the height of the flowContainer? so I know how to size the overall row? I have tried var rowHeight:int = flowContainer.height but it does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks Jeff
