You might be able to reuse the LabelItemRenderer renderer and substitute in the old text field and set it's htmlText property rather than the text property. That might be the fastest but a lot more work if it uses Spark or FTE API methods.
You could create an item renderer with the old text field and set it's htmlText property. Something like, <s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" creationComplete="addComponents()"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ public var textField:TextField; public function addComponents():void { textField = new TextField(); addElement(textField); } override public function set data(value:Object):void { textField.htmlText = String(value); } ]]> </fx:Script> </s:ItemRenderer> The above is pseudo code so it will need to be tweaked. You could also use a RichText and use a TextFlow or use the HTML importer class. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ override public function set data(value:Object):void { //super.label = value; if (value is TextFlow) { labelDisplay.textFlow = value as TextFlow; } else if (value is String) { // import HTML markup labelDisplay.textFlow = HTMLImporter.importToFlow(value); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:states> <s:State name="normal"/> <s:State name="hovered"/> <s:State name="selected"/> </s:states> <s:Rect left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"> <s:stroke.selected> <s:SolidColorStroke color="0x000000" weight="1"/> </s:stroke.selected> <s:fill> <s:SolidColor color.normal="0xFFFFFF" color.hovered="0xCEDBEF" color.selected="0x00FF00"/> </s:fill> </s:Rect> <s:RichText id="labelDisplay" fontWeight.selected="bold" verticalCenter="0" left="3" right="3" top="6" bottom="4"/> </s:ItemRenderer> The code above is also pseudo code.
