I could only find one person who wanted to achieve the same goal as I did. David Rousselie’s solution didn’t work for me, however the comment made by Ralf Bokelberg in the mail archives gave me the answer.

How about using an itemRenderer with states and setting the state
dependent on the type of data?

And thats exactly what needs to be done. Create any list component you want and create your own ItemRenderer. Let the list use the Itemrenderer. Inside your own itemrenderer you need to override the set data function to check the object type and change to the appropriate state. You can define every state you want. Add the child components you want and use the data.value to use the actual object from the list.

public override function set data(value:Object): void {
	super.data = value;
	if (value is ImageObject) {
		currentState = "IMAGE";
	} else if (value is TextObject) {
		currentState = "TEXT";
	}
}

Don’t forget the super.data = value statement. In every state you can define the components you want. You can access the different objecttypes in each state without one interfering the other.

With this being said I did found one other nifty way to implement Dynamic Itemrenderers but uses a different definition of the dynamic part: click here
