Hi all…  
In 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 ?Any inputs invited
