Unfortunately it seems that it really *is* that hard. Someone at
Macromedia should take note of the fact that the button label placement
appears to be hardcoded into the border metrics of ButtonSkin.
We wound up having to create a custom theme with its own ButtonSkin
subclass just to override this annoying behavior. It uses a
"forceMargin" style to selectively override the hardcoded margin of 3
pixels.
To use this one must compile and make use of a theme containing the
following class -- somewhat involved, see MM docs for "programmatic
skinning". Once done, one can override the margin by specifying a
"forceMargin: 1" or such, in the CSS style applied to one's button.

import mx.skins.halo.ButtonSkin;
import mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions;
class yourPackageHere.CustomButtonSkin extends ButtonSkin
{
static var symbolName:String = "ButtonSkin";
static var symbolOwner:Object = CustomButtonSkin;
function getBorderMetrics():Object
{
var forceMargin = getStyle("forceMargin");
if (forceMargin == undefined)
{
return super.getBorderMetrics();
}
else
{
__borderMetrics = { left: forceMargin, top: forceMargin,
right: forceMargin, bottom:forceMargin };
return __borderMetrics;
}
}
static function classConstruct():Boolean
{
UIObjectExtensions.Extensions();
_global.skinRegistry["CustomButtonSkin"] = true;
return true;
}
static var classConstructed:Boolean = classConstruct();
static var UIObjectExtensionsDependency:UIObjectExtensions =
UIObjectExtensions;
