Thanks Alex. Pairing a renderer with a custom list component seems a
bit overkill and smells of over-coupling. In any case, your response
answers my question and I greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

So if the renderer used say, a style named "aaronRadius" to determine
the size of the circle, you don't have to change the styleName on the
renderer.
If you put a List selector in your styles block with "aaronRadius" in
it, it should transfer through to the renderer. You won't be able to
use aaronRadius in the <mx:List tag because it isn't defined in the
style MetaData, but you could pair your renderer with an AaronList
subclass that defines aaronRadius on it, and makes your renderer the
default renderer.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Styling a list item renderer
Thanks for the response Alex. The styles I'm mostly talking about are
very specific to the item renderer. For example, my renderer has a
colored circle in it along with a few other things. I'd like to specify
a radius style that can be a specific radius for one list and a
different radius for a separate list.
Thanks again for taking the time to participate on the list.
