I have a FB4 project I'm working on.  I have a list (currently datagrid) with 
variable row heights.  

The contents of the row can get really long (they're forum posts), long to 
point where the row height is larger than the grid height.  At this point the 
grid breaks down. (i.e. I have not way of seeing the entire row contents in the 
dg).

Should Spark be able to handle this? 

 I don't want to spend the time w/custom code if this is outside the scope of 
Flex/Spark.  

I realize the datagrid has not been 'Sparked' yet, so I'm open to doing this 
with a spark list.


I'm currently using a renderer from Alex's blog (to render the HTML)

override public function validateProperties():void
{
 super.validateProperties();
 if (listData)
 {
   var dg:DataGrid = DataGrid(listData.owner);
                                
   var column:DataGridColumn =  dg.columns[listData.columnIndex];
   htmlText = data[column.dataField];
   selectable = true;
   if (getStyle("plainText"))
  {text = text;}
 }
}

That's another challenge, I noticed that Spark doesn't use htmlText anymore, 
rather 'content' but I haven't had much luck with 'content' in spark for 
rendering HTML (links etc).

Thanks in advance.
