Yep
:) But the following seems to do the trick...
test.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
xmlns="*"
>
<mx:Form>
<HackedFormItem label="small label" >
<mx:TextInput />
</HackedFormItem>
<HackedFormItem label="really big label" >
<mx:TextInput />
</HackedFormItem>
<HackedFormItem label="really really really big label" >
<mx:TextInput />
</HackedFormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>
HackedFormItem.as
import mx.controls.FormItemLabel;
class
HackedFormItem extends mx.containers.FormItem {function layoutChildren(
):Void { super.layoutChildren();label_mc
.x = 0; }}
Cheers,
Paul.

Subject: [flexcoders] Left aligned form labels
Does anyone else find the inability to left align FormItem labels a
problem? We have a major US financial client whos style guide requires
left aligned labels on forms. I tried to use the FormItem.labelObject
property to see if I could get to the label's style attributes but it
seems that although it's documented the labelObject property doesn't
exist. Has anyone worked out a workaround? We have to build a lot of
forms, would be good to be able to use the Flex tags.
Cheers,
Robin
