Re: [Spam] Re: [flexcoders] Fields grouping?
Tim and Wesley, thanks for your replies... really appreciate it. I've not been flexing for long so that's for helping me out... I treid using forms with a border and using a formheader but it didn't give the look I was after. I guess i can change my UI designs if needed though but I though the field grouping thing was a standard object in most development environments... I think the Panel will give me the best enclosure feel... One thing I've noticed about Forms is that they're great for vertical layouts but if I want to have fields side by side then I need to use two forms and then second having a blank header to force the first field to be lined up with the field in the first Form. A problem though is pressing tab in the first form moves the cursor down it's elements and then moving onto the second. I'm sure there's a way to sort this but will it be a 'hack' - checking for TAB on keypress events and applying focus to the desired field... bit messy I guess and prone to breakage. Am I wrong? Hope so... Also, where is the Shapes area in FB3? Are there drawing tools or do i have to draw within a specific container? Cheers for the help guys!

I'd personally use Panel. however there are several ways to do this. Please note this was to be quick not pretty.
