Normally you only need to implement measure if you didn't base the component on
a container, but item renderers are a bit different. Their measure methods
must take the explicitWIdth and calculate measuredHeight.

Subject: [flexcoders] MXML Components and measure()
When is it that you have to implement measure()? If you're building components
in MXML, purely out of other standard Flex components, do you ever need to
bother with measure()?
I'm making an MXML item renderer, and I'm running into some trouble with the
DataGrid handling the variable row height - particularly once I put this into
my renderer:
Coming at this rather naively, it seems that the VBox that the Text each ought
to have appropriate measure() implementations already, but clearly something's
gone wrong.
Any tips would be helpful.

Michael
