Text position of a checkbox

Hi

Is it possible to have the text on the left side of a checkbox?

I'm using spark and tlf.

Thanx

Allan

I should have said "by reskinning the CheckBox". You wouldn't normally edit the CheckBoxSkin.mxml file that defines the default skin; you make you're own version of it and tell the CheckBox to use that instead.

For Spark component questions you're better off asking in the Flex forums

You can certainly make your own component using TLF or FTE classes with the behavior you want, but if you're looking to make spark.components.Checkbox do something particular you should be asking the Flex team.

The Spark skinning model makes it possible to totally control the appearance of the CheckBox by changing CheckBoxSkin.mxml.
