Interesting. It worked fine on my end. Here's a more thorough example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
<mx:Style>
.leftTextTabBar {
firstButtonStyleName:"leftTextTab";
buttonStyleName:"leftTextTab";
lastButtonStyleName:"leftTextTab";
firstTabStyleName:"leftTextTab";
tabStyleName:"leftTextTab";
lastTabStyleName:"leftTextTab";
}
.leftTextTab {
textAlign:left;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:TabBar x="272" y="31">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:Array>
<mx:Object label="Item 1"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 2"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 3"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 4"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 5"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:TabBar>
<mx:TabBar styleName="leftTextTabBar" x="272" y="110">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:Array>
<mx:Object label="Item 1"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 2"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 3"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 4"/>
<mx:Object label="Item 5"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:TabBar>
<mx:Label x="459" y="61" text="Alignment Not Specified"
color="#ffffff"/>
<mx:Label x="446" y="140" text="Left Align Specified via CSS"
color="#ffffff"/>
</mx:Application>
Hope that helps.
