So you’re coding up some form items and the glorious designer is showing the label for the form item centered vertically, or, at the bottom.
Piece of cake says I and I start to look for the props to do so. Lo and behold, they don’t exist. WTF??
Google this and google that and no luck!!
Great, now what do I do?
Well, it’s kinda hacky, but it works.
I call this function on the creationComplete event of the FormItem:
private function centerLabel(evt:FlexEvent):void
{
var fi:FormItem = FormItem(evt.currentTarget) as FormItem;
var lbl:Label = fi.itemLabel as Label;
lbl.move( lbl.x, lbl.y + (lbl.height/2) );
}
Enjoy
