I have a form with various fileds like:-

Name
Address
Fax

etc., Now I want the labels in the form to be left aligned and the tex input
fields to be aligned right, for the purpose I am using the following code:-


<mx:FormItem label="Company Id" textAlign="left">
<mx:TextInput id="companyId" data="{model.companyId}"
enabled="{model.comapanyIdEditable}" styleName="gradientRectangleSkin"
textAlign="right"/>
</mx:FormItem>

This however doesn't seem to work, what is it that I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Have you set layout="Absolute" on your app?

If I set the layout to absolute I would have to specify the location
coordinates of all the inputs or else they would stack on top of eachother,
this is something I don't want to do. Are there any other options?
