Flex Examples
The following example shows how you can create a custom item renderer with a corner radius on a Spark List control in Flex 4 by setting the cornerRadius property and creating a custom item renderer which sets its autoDrawBackground property to false and draws its own rounded background fill using the radiusX property in the hovered and selected states.
The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.
For more information on getting started with Flex 4 and Flash Builder 4, see the official Adobe Flex Team blog.

And the custom Spark List item renderer, skins/CustomCornerRadiusItemRenderer.mxml, is as follows:

View source is enabled in the following example.
This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.
