IIRC, formitem doesn't wordwrap its labels. You might have to place a Text control manually.

My problem is the text in the FormItem isn't wrapping (which I want). Any ideas? Thanks, Paul <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function selectedItemChanged():void{ subject.text = datagrid.selectedItem.subject; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:DataGrid width="100%" id="datagrid" change="selectedItemChanged ()" ...> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="subject" headerText="Subject" width="200" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:Form width="100%"> <mx:FormItem label="Subject" width="100%"> <mx:Text text="" id="subject" width="100%" /> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form>
