I believe Darin is correct that wrapping isn't available here. I honestly do not like the way the form elements work, I just about pulled my hair out trying to get them to format correctly and just gave up and placed text without form elements. FYI For Datagrids you can use wrapping but you have to explicity set it in the datagrid tag before it will work. In 2.0, don't know if this was updated in 3.0 or not.

There is space for the text to wrap, but the text itself is not wrapping. So, if you delete some of the text, the space gets smaller, but will not wrap. Text outside the form wraps fine... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Text width="100%" text="This is text Outside the Form. The word wrap is working fine.
