Just make the labels same height, and tuning its own padding.
I think it is sort of tricky, but Flex still can't make text alignment perfect
automatically, and you do always have to spend much effort to get over this.
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label height="100%" text="LABEL1" fontSize="10" paddingTop = "2"/>
<mx:Label height="100%" text="LABEL2" fontSize="12" paddingTop = "0"/>
</mx:HBox>

Subject: [flexcoders] Position elements with different font size against
baseline in HBox
Hello, flexcoders.
Let's pretend I have the following code:
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="LABEL1" fontSize="10"/>
<mx:Label text="LABEL2" fontSize="12"/>
</mx:HBox>
What should I do to vertically position the buttons on the same baseline
without using padding? Referencing some constraint row from outside the HBox
does not work, since HBox abolishes absolute positioning.
Thank you,
Alexander Tarelkin
