Re: [flexcoders] Layout Problems

[Jeff Tapper]

Actually, FormItem does have a direction attribute, which Greg is properly 
using. The problem is a lack of with attributes on the Form and form item 
tags. Try this instead.

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="600">
<mx:Form width="100%">
<mx:FormItem id="fiPTO" label="PTO" direction="horizontal" 
width="100%">
<mx:CheckBox id="PTO" />
<mx:FormItemLabel text="Accrual" />
<mx:ComboBox id="ptoAccrual" >
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:Array>
<mx:String>0-3 Years - 20 Days</mx:String>
<mx:String>4-10 Years - 25 Days</mx:String>
<mx:String>10 or more - 30 
Days</mx:String>
</mx:Array>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

I think FormItem doesn't support direction="horizontal". Put the stuff
into a HBox:
<mx:FormItem id="fiPTO" label="PTO">
<mx:HBox>
...
</mx:HBox>
</mx:FormItem>
