Let me code it, the codes should look like this <mx:MyHBox> <mx:Button label="Button 1" /> <mx:Button label="Button 2" /> <mx:Button label="Button 3" /> <mx:Button label="Button 4" /> </mx:MyHBox> This needs to layout components in following manner Button 4 | Button 3 | Button 2 | Button 1 If I add another button with addChild(new Button()); the new button must appear before Button 4.
