I extended Text like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Text xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="initComponent()"> <mx:Script><![CDATA[ private function initComponent():void { this.height = this.textHeight; }// ]]></mx:Script> </mx:Text> Seemed to work for my situation. Of course, "this.height = this.textHeight;" is the core.
