distance beetween Checkbox and Text

how to increase the distance between the tex开发者_开发知识库t and the check box in flex ?

You can change the gap by using the horizontalGap property (style)

<mx:CheckBox id="chk" label="Hello" horizontalGap="50" />

or

chk.setStyle("horizontalGap", 50);

You can use textIndent Property:

 <mx:CheckBox label="some text" textIndent="5"/>
