Alert & long alertLabel Issue

Question

Hi,
I can't get to correctly display a text within an Alert component. I tried the TitleWindow component too but it still doesn't solve my issue. If my alert string is long, the fitting isn't ok.
In this example, I set a static big height and it's "ok".
But if I let the component to draw itself, this is what I get :
I tried to override measure and updateDisplayList based on text dimensions but without luck.
Any advice ?
TIA.

For Flex 3 try this....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
  xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
  creationComplete="onAppInit()"
  layout="horizontal"> 
  <mx:Script> 
   <![CDATA[ 
        import mx.core.IUITextField;
        import mx.controls.Alert;
        import mx.core.mx_internal;
        use namespace mx_internal;
        public function onAppInit():void
            showAlert();
        private function showAlert():void
            var myAlert:Alert = Alert.show("Mot de passe ou identifiant errone !", "Alert");
            myAlert.height = 160;
            myAlert.width = 340;
            callLater(function():void
                var textField:IUITextField =  IUITextField(myAlert.mx_internal::alertForm.mx_internal::textField);
                var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
                textFormat.align = "center";
                textField.width = myAlert.width;
                textField.x = -10;
                textField.setTextFormat(textFormat);
   ]]>
  </mx:Script>
<mx:Style>
    Application {
         backgroundColor:#FFFFFF;
         backgroundGradientColors: #FFFFFF,#FCFDFF ;
    .myHeaderStyles {
        color:#FFFFFF;
        fontWeight: bold;
    Alert{
        color : #124332;
        background-color: #ffffff;
        header-colors : #d4d4d4, #d4d4d4;
        header-height:19;
        drop-shadow-enabled: true;
        drop-shadow-color :#243322;
        corner-radius :6;
        border-style :solid;
        border-thickness: 1;
        border-color : #243322;
        footer-colors : #243322, #ffffff;
        title-style-name : "title";
    </mx:Style>
</mx:Application>
Will create this...
