Thanks Alex, much appreciated!
This is how it turned out, testing well!

//CreationComplete handler
private function initRenderer():void
{
//Must listen for both CHANGE and DATA_CHANGE events
this.outerList.addEventListener(ListEvent.CHANGE, checkSelected);
this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE, checkSelected);
}
private function checkSelected(event:Event = null)
{
if( isItemSelected())
//do some custom styling
else
//do some custom styling
}
private function isItemSelected():Boolean
{
var sel:Boolean = false;
//First just check if we are the selected item
//if so we know our item has just been selected
if(this.outerList.selectedItem == this.data)
sel = true;
else
{
//To support multiselections we need to also check the list
//of selected items
for( var i:int = 0; i < this.outerList.selectedItems.length
&& !sel; ++i)
{
sel = (this.outerList.selectedItems[i] == this.data);
}
}
return sel;
}
