Release: Flex AutoSizingList Component

I'd been desperately scouring the 'webs over the last few days trying to find a Flex List component that would automatically resize to fit its data provider's contents when using variable row height item renderers. The closest I came to finding such a work was a blog post citing some work done by the people at Workday on the AdvancedDataGrid class. The author of the first post mentioned that he would release his component once he got client approval, which seems to never have happened. I decided to tackle the problem myself and, after very little modifying of the Workday crew's code, came up with just what I needed. Hit up the component's page to see an example and download the source code, which I've released under the MIT License. I hope this helps someone else as much as it helped me.
