You can achieve the same by extending FormItem to reserve some space for the icon and then placing the icon appropriately. <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:FormItem xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> import mx.controls.Image; // this holds the icon private var iconHolder:Image; public function createChildren():Void { super.createChildren(); iconHolder = Image(createChild(Image, "", {source: icon})); } public function getViewMetrics():Object { var vm:Object = super.getViewMetrics(); // reserve extra space for icon vm.left += iconHolder.width + getStyle("horizontalGap"); return vm; } public function layoutChildren():Void { super.layoutChildren(); var vm:Object = super.getViewMetrics(); iconHolder.move(vm.left + getStyle("marginLeft"), vm.top + getStyle("marginLeft")); } </mx:Script> </mx:FormItem> Usage: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"> <mx:Form> <MyFormItem icon="@Embed('bubble.jpg')" label="Name"> <mx:TextInput /> </MyFormItem> </mx:Form> </mx:Application> Yahoo!
