By a coincidence I created yesterday a component you are talking about. http://mitek.id.au/flex/ElasticTextField.as
The important thing is - it works in Flex "Printing Plant/Engine". PS This is a readonly thing as my primary goal was printing. I tried to use TextArea - it does not work in printing, for some reason it does not know how to measure the textHeight/Width. TextField works fine though.
