- *  The MXItemRenderer class is the base class for Spark item renderers in

+ *  The MXItemRenderer class is the base class for Spark item renderers  
+ *  and item editors used in MX list-based controls. 
+ *  This class lets you use the Spark item renderer architecture with the 
+ *  MX DataGrid and Tree controls. 
+ *
+ *  <p><b>Note: </b>Many MX controls support item renderers or item editors. 
+ *  These controls include the MX List, Menu, MenuBar, and TileLIst controls. 
+ *  However, only the MX DataGrid and Tree classes support the MXItemRenderer class. 
+ *  Therefore, continue to use MX item renderers and item editors with 
+ *  MX controls other than DataGrid and Tree.</p>
