Wrap your button in a HBox:
<mx:Panel id="loginPanel">
<mx:Form id="loginForm" left="10" right="10" bottom="10"
top="10">
<mx:FormHeading label="Welcome"/>
<mx:FormItem label="User Name">
<mx:TextInput id="username"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Password">
<mx:TextInput id="password" displayAsPassword="true"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:HBox horizontalAlign="right" paddingRight="10"
paddingBottom="10" width="100%">
<mx:Button label="Log in" click="handleLogin(event)"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Panel>
