Tim and Wesley, thanks for your replies... really appreciate it. I've not
been flexing for long so that's for helping me out...
I treid using forms with a border and using a formheader but it didn't give
the look I was after. I guess i can change my UI designs if needed though
but I though the field grouping thing was a standard object in most
development environments... I think the Panel will give me the best
enclosure feel...
One thing I've noticed about Forms is that they're great for vertical
layouts but if I want to have fields side by side then I need to use two
forms and then second having a blank header to force the first field to be
lined up with the field in the first Form. A problem though is pressing tab
in the first form moves the cursor down it's elements and then moving onto
the second. I'm sure there's a way to sort this but will it be a 'hack' -
checking for TAB on keypress events and applying focus to the desired
field... bit messy I guess and prone to breakage.
Am I wrong? Hope so...
Also, where is the Shapes area in FB3? Are there drawing tools or do i have
to draw within a specific container?
Cheers for the help guys!

hi guys,
Is there a component that allows us to group fields/ objects together? I
can't find a built in object, I'm after something visual that i can use to
group fields, such as all the address fields together and another group to
collate the numerous emails and phone numbers...
You can use a container with a border I.
I'd personally use Panel.
however there are several ways to do this. Please note this was to be
quick not pretty.
See below
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute backgroundGradientAlphas=[1.0, 1.0]
backgroundGradientColors=[#FF, #FF]
mx:Form x=10 y=10 borderStyle=inset width=293
mx:FormHeading label=Address/
mx:FormItem label=House
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Street
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Town
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
mx:Form x=10 y=158 width=293 borderStyle=inset height=170
mx:FormHeading label=Contact Details/
mx:FormItem label=Mobile
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Phone
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
mx:HRule width=100%/
mx:FormItem label=e-mail
mx:TextInput/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
/mx:Application
Or if you want it dynamic you can use something like an accordian.
Can I draw it? Is there a line tool?
I think theres lines in the shape area
Thanks! :)
