I think that Ely put it nicely here:
No, I am talking about the labels WITHIN the bar. I've posted a graphic here, since the ascii art got mangled despite my best efforts: http://www.magnoliamultimedia.com/images/labels.jpg. This is the BarSeries, not the Axis. In Eli's chart explorer, he does this with a custom renderer, but it seems to me that it shouldn't be necessary...why would the team choose an ugly alignment for the default and give you no way to change it? I've seen places on people's blogs and even in the Flex 3 Cookbook where people used bunches of code to do something you could do with CSS or a property on the control, so just because there is an example on someone's website (no matter how respected) that solves a problem with a custom renderer, that doesn't mean that the custom renderer is the only or even the best way to solve the problem.
