Re: [flexcoders] Left aligned form labels

....damn, didn't think of that; I did an exact positioning of an entirely new label on the Stage's resize:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
initialize="initApp();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function initApp()
{
onResize();
Stage.addListener(this);
}

function d(o)
{
debug_ta.text += o + newline;
}

function onResize()
{
var o = {};
o.x = my_form.x;
o.y = my_form.y;
o.x += main_fi.x;
o.y += main_fi.y;
label1.move(o.x, o.y);

}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">

<mx:Form id="my_form" x="109" y="83" borderColor="#003333" backgroundColor="#006699" >
    <mx:FormItem id="main_fi">
   <mx:Button label="Button" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Hello and welcome">
   <mx:Button label="Button" />
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:TextArea x="128" y="221" width="272" height="109" id="debug_ta" />
<mx:Text id="label1" text="Text" />
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

Yep :) But the following seems to do the trick...

test.mxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"

xmlns="*"

<mx:Form>

<mx:TextInput />

</HackedFormItem>

<mx:TextInput />

</HackedFormItem>

<mx:TextInput />

</HackedFormItem>

</mx:Form>

</mx:Application>

HackedFormItem.as

import mx.controls.FormItemLabel;

class HackedFormItem extends mx.containers.FormItem {

function layoutChildren():Void {

super.layoutChildren();

label_mc.x = 0;

}

Cheers,

Paul.

Subject: [flexcoders] Left aligned form labels

Hi, Does anyone else find the inability to left align FormItem labels a problem? We have a major US financial client whos style guide requires left aligned labels on forms. I tried to use the FormItem.labelObject property to see if I could get to the label's style attributes but it seems that although it's documented the labelObject property doesn't exist. Has anyone worked out a workaround? We have to build a lot of forms, wouldbe good to be able to use the Flex tags. Cheers, Robin http://www.rocketboots.com.au
