Kind of a hack, I know.
Thanks for the suggestion, but this becomes problematic inside a Repeater, as you have to then give an ID to the parent and to other children in the container and then use really long expressions based on repeater.currentIndex. Plus, I think that the problem is really that at the time that measure() was called, all of the flexible components confused everything, and I'm not sure that binding to a variable-width component would have helpwed. Thanks :)
