Flex - How can we measure the height of a control with nested renders?

I'm using a List control. In the renderer of the List control I've got a Repeater. Each Repeater can have a different number of items. Adding to the complexity, one of the components being repeated in the repeater is a Text control that has long text that will wrap, increasing it's height.

I need to expand the height of the List completely so that there's no vertical scrollbar.

How can I do this?

I tried an extremely dirty attempt at calculating the Lists height based on the data source. From the data source I can figure out the number of repeater items and the number of items in each repeater in the List's re开发者_高级运维nderer. But there's no way to compensate for the wrapping of the text in the Text control.

Is there a better way (or any way!) to do this? Please help.

Thanks in advance,
