I have noticed two differences between spark and mx forms which are causing me some problems. It seems by default the mx forms are arranged to the label is above the form input item. In Spark they are arranged next to each other. Also the label in spark forms are bold by default.For example MX code could be
<mx:Form width="100%">
<mx:FormItem indicatorGap="0">
<s:Label text="label1"/>

I need an horizontal layout on my forms, they look like this:

I'm very confused about the new Flex 4 architecture...
I am going through the flex in a week training and I'm trying to use the Spark form in Flashbuilder 4, but it does not appear in the components windows. When I drag a form from there it is an mx form control. The project is set to use the 4.5 sdk and I can even create the tag in the code view, but when I do that is doesn't show up in the designer... How can I get the spark form control to either show up in the designer when created in the code view, or get the control to show up in the components window so I can drag it in?
View 1 RepliesIn flex form layout
<mx:Form id="form">
<mx:FormItem label="horizontal:">
<mx:Text text="test"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
the output will be horizontal 'test' But my constraint is i want to align the textbox(first child of the form item ) vertically with the label. How can i do this?
Is there a way to change the space between a spark form item and its content (textinput, combobox)? I already set to 0 the "gap" property of the form, but still there is a lot of vertical space left between the form inputs.
View 5 RepliesI found this example [URL].. which works great but only if you have the focussable elements in a VGroup.
However I have a Form inside the VGroup which means that the focussable elements are in FormItems of the Form. The Form can't be added directly into the Scroller and doesn't have a layout property.
I could use form.getElementIndex(formItem) and then do some math using the formItem y position but that's very ugly. Anyone have an idea how to get this working in a clean way like the above example?

View 1 RepliesI've created a skin that allows me to have two labels on a spark button, but the button text won't center vertically. It stays at the top of the button no matter what settings I give it. The icon in the skin DOES however, center vertically. This is the skin:

I have a canvas lets say the size of it on the screen is 500x500. But I want the actual canvas size to be 1000x500 making the other half scrollable. How can I make a blank canvas with that specification?
View 1 RepliesI have:
an ArrayCollection of Numbers;
a List using the above ArrayCollection as it's dataprovider, and virtualLayout=true;
a custom ItemRenderer that shows a label with:
a) the number
b) an y position depending on the number AND the highest number visible
In another words, if I have 10 numbers in the AC, and only 5 appear on the screen, the y position of those 5 will depend on the value of the maximum number for those 5. When the user scrolls, of course those 5 elements change so the position of the label in item renderers will change.
1) How can I get the list of items that are "currently" visible?
2) Which event/method to override will help me know that the List was scrolled/the visible items changed?
I am trying to have a tool-tip in Flex 3, where in when my mouse is over the some value, it should show a tool-tip just like you get it for any classes in Eclipse IDE. Suppose, your mouse is over word "String" in java, you get a tool-tip stating the description of java.lang.String and its syntax. It also allows to copy the contents. Is it possible to create such a tool-tip in Flex 3 ? I want this kind of tool-tip to appear, and when pressed F2, it should have horizontal and vertical scroll bars and we should be able to copy the contents from tool-tip.

View 2 RepliesI have a Flex application that edits a moderately complex object, and I'd like to put some client-side validation in place on multiple parts of the editor.The editor is a set of nested objects:[code]The structure echoes the data model fairly closely, and the UI is what the project requires, so I'm not going to be too quick to restructure the classes there if I don't have to -- time is an issue too. What I want to do is have validators for each of the Component* instances that:[code]Show the validation tool tips and UI hints on the relevant UI element.Disable the SubmitButton when any part of the form is not valid(Optionally) provide enough information that I can display an error message in the form.
View 3 RepliesI'm designing a data entry app that allows multiple entries to its subject. For example, a person might have received education from multiple institutions.

the problem is the input boxes are y distances apart and i want to bring them a little bit closer. if i had used the <s:VGroup/> or <s:HGroup/>, there is the gap property to close up the gap but that property is not in the Form tag.How can I close the gaps using the Form tag?
I am having some issues with a php email form that I am using in my AS3 project. the form works perfect and all communication is good.however when the user is on the page and wants to tab to the next text field it jumps to one of my hyperlinks on the same page and not to the next text field down on the php form.
is there any way to stop this from happening.I have tried placing the php form on a seperate layer in a seperate mc and I have done the same with the hyperlinks .you can see what I mean by visiting this development site.(after entering go to contact)http:[url].....
I have only two fields Name and Email in a Order form and a PayPal button for payment at PayPal ( into my account).I can do the mail portion but have no idea about PayPal code, however on search here I found one code and after pasting this one to the PayPal button it redirects to my PayPal account.But the question is anybody can post a message and leave the site without paying me. How can I do this thing so that the user will forced to pay before posting the mail form.
View 1 RepliesI have a super involved and somewhat silly site I've been working on for a long time piecing together fragments of AS2 code and modifying them to the best of my limited ability.The site is here:http:[url]....I am finally adding the last steps, a series of contact forms with a PHP script in the back end. Anyway, I implemented a form script and have it triggered by clicking the "CONTACT" button you can see on the lower bar. So, click contact and once the form opens (an external SWF loaded into an MC), type away and everything works fine unless you use the letter "f" in either upper or lowercase. It causes the screen to flash and for the form input to lose focus.It works (in that you can enter everything normally -- the form doesn't function, but that's just the PHP which I have yet to edit.)

I have a form that is written in MXML that allows a user to create/add a User.I need to add a form that allows a user to modify SOME but NOT ALL of the fields for this user.The forms are so similar, I don't want to have to create two separate forms, one for Add and one for Modify.For example, in the Add form, the user specifies a user id. In the Modify form, the "user id" field is not editable.I'm wondering how I can initialize the MXML form (i.e. pass in a parameter?) so that it knows whether it is in the Add state or the Modif state.I know I can't do the following but this is what I would like to do (pseudocode):[code]
