Item renderers support optional view states. You typically use view states in MXML item renderers to control the appearance of a data item based on user interaction with the item. The ItemRenderer class supports all views states so that you can use those item renderers with list-based classes.
Flex defines the following view states that you can support in your item renderers:
When the user interacts with a control in a way that changes the view state of the item renderer, Flex first determines if the renderer defines that view state. If the item renderer supports the view state, Flex sets the item renderer to use that view state. If the item renderer does not supports the view state, Flex does nothing.

| autoDrawBackground | property |
autoDrawBackground:Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Specifies whether the item renderer draws the background of the data item during user interaction. Interactions include moving the mouse over the item, selecting the item, and moving the caret of the item.
If true, the background for
the item renderer is automatically drawn, and it
depends on the styles that are set (contentBackgroundColor,
alternatingItemColor, rollOverColor,
downColor, selectionColor)
and the state that the item renderer is in.
If false, the item render draws no backgrounds.
Your custom item renderer is responsible for displaying the
background colors for all user interactions.
The default value is true.

label:String| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The String to display in the item renderer.
The host component of the item renderer can use the
itemToLabel() method to convert the data item
to a String for display by the item renderer.
For controls like List and ButtonBar, you can use the
labelField or labelFunction properties
to specify the field of the data item that contains the String.
Otherwise the host component uses the toString() method
to convert the data item to a String.
The default value is "".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.

| getCurrentRendererState | () | method |
protected function getCurrentRendererState():String| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Returns the name of the state to be applied to the renderer. For example, a very basic List item renderer would return the String "normal", "hovered", or "selected" to specify the renderer's state. If dealing with touch interactions (or mouse interactions where selection is ignored), "down" and "downAndSelected" are also important states.
A subclass of ItemRenderer must override this method to return a value if the behavior desired differs from the default behavior.
In Flex 4.0, the 3 main states were "normal", "hovered", and "selected". In Flex 4.5, "down" and "downAndSelected" have been added.
The full set of states supported (in order of precedence) are:
String — A String specifying the name of the state to apply to the renderer.

Marks the renderer's state as invalid so that the new state is set during a later screen update.
