[flexcoders] changing an Hbox

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I am creating HBoxes with actionscript, based on XML content.
I want to give them bottom margins.

How do I do that?

Have you tried the paddingBottom style 
?  
You would set this programmatically using the setStyle() method.

Yes I've tried that. It doesn't work.
gridItem = new HBox(  );
gridItem.setStyle("paddingBottom", 20);

Hmmm... well that is how I always do it.  To be clear, what that should 
set is the amount of space inside the HBox (at the bootm) that will be 
left empty (below any children that are added in there).
