Thanks again. Yeah, I tried that as well. But it doesn't return the resized height but a uniformed height of 18 pixels instead.
Is there no other way to capture the height after it's been drawn? I have done the following: var grid1:DataGrid = DataGrid(DataGridListData(listData).owner); trace(grid1.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight()); It returns the height of the datagrid. trace(getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight()); It returns the 18 px height I mentioned earlier and truncates whatever data that is beyond the 1st line. I have also tried various other "get" and "measure" methods to no avail. I may be naive, but is there a way to capture "grid1.[height of each data cell]" and pass that as argument?
