/**
 *  The UnconstrainItemAction class defines an action effect that
 *  is used in a data-effect definition
 *  to temporarily stop item renderers from being positioned by the
 *  layout algorithm of the parent control. This effect can be used
 *  to allow item renderers in a TileList control to move freely
 *  rather than being constrained to lay in the normal grid defined by the control.
 *  The default data effect class for the TileList control, DefaultTileListEffect, 
 *  uses this effect.
 *
 *  <p>You typically add this effect when your custom data effect moves item renderers.</p>
 *   
 *  @mxml
 *
 *  <p>The <code>&lt;mx:UnconstrainItemAction&gt;</code> tag
 *  inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass,
 *  and adds no new tag attributes:</p>
