[flexcoders] Is it possible to get compontnet height is it doesnt have height="###"

[Body Works Studio]

Hello all,

I have a flowContainer that is dynamically added to a vbox on load.
Inside that flowContainer I dynamically fill it with labels (one label
per phrase) via an addChild(). currently I do not define a height on
the flowContainer. The vbox and its parent make up a itemRenderer
component for a list.

Is it possible to get the height of the flowContainer? so I know how
to size the overall row? I have tried var rowHeight:int =
flowContainer.height but it does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jeff
