[flexcoders] Measuring the width of a label

[ivansebastiansurya]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem regarding measuring the width of a Label control.
In my item renderer, I need to display a list of labels, but the number of 
labels per row depends on how many of them fit within one row.
To do that, I need to actually measure the width of the label created prior to 
being added as a child of my renderer.
Anyone has any idea how to do that?

I need something like:

var label:Label = new Label();
label.text = "Test label";
// Then I need to measure the width of the created label.

Cheers and thanks in advance for reading my post.

Ivan.
