The real-estate is not a traditional flash form. Flash Form have a small dictionary support of Flex 1.5.
Most usage of flash forms will also not use HBox and Vbox, but rather <cfformgroup type="horizontal"> or <cfformgroup type="vertical">. Flash forms support actionscript and have access to global styles. ASFusion does identify this rather well. Flash forms are also not very well documented, which is a reason why I have heard people not use it. The built in binding to calendar controls and grid controls does make it compelling to hack through.
