Ok coo
Steven. I'll give that a look.
I
started to ask the question if using Grids was like using tables in html. Should
I only use them for data layout (row duplication)?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Grid alignmentI'm using a grid for layout purposes and can't seem to get one of my items to align right. I basically want two items on the same row but one of them aligned right and one aligned left (labels).Hey John - this is what we'd call a "bad code smell" and is one of the MXML Refactorings we talk about.Rather than use a grid to achieve your layout (grids can be quite an expensive component for the layoutmanager to deal with) why don't you look into the <mx:Spacer /> component and play with widths, so thatyou can have the Spacer consume all the space necessary to push your rightmost component to the farright...?ie:<mx:Label /> <mx:Spacer /><mx:Label />Make sense ?Steven--Steven Webster
