If you haven't already read these articles on creating custom item renderers then do so now, they will save you a lot of time.  I wish I had found them a few days ago!

CheckBox list would be so difficult?  I've actually ended using a custom 
CheckBoxList class that just puts 
CheckBox components directly into a 
VBox instead of using a 
List with a 
CheckBox itemRenderer because I was having too many difficulties getting it to work.  
Most of my problems are cause by two things:
When filtering and scrolling the list I found that the checkboxes would lose their selected state.  I know the renderers are recycled, but I still couldn't get it to work consistently. I had difficulty changing the selected property of my data items through ActionScript code (e.g. select all, select none, etc).  I couldn't get the renderers to update properly and have the right checked value.Most likely it is just my lack of understanding...
