title: Flex Itemrenderer issue with DropDown Control
body: <p>I want to show rich text in dropdown control, for which I am using the following renderer.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;mx:HBox xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"&gt;
    &lt;fx:Script&gt;
    &lt;![CDATA[
    import spark.utils.TextFlowUtil;
    ]]&gt;
    &lt;/fx:Script&gt;
    &lt;s:TextArea textFlow="{TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(new XML(data))}"/&gt;
  &lt;/mx:HBox&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The renderer shows html text properly in the drop down list, but in the top most option (selected item) the whole HTML tag is shown instead of what the tag represents. I am completely lost any help will be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
