I'm trying to create a form, but i am having issues aligning the formItems.
This is mx:Form namespace. (xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml")

<mx:VBox paddingLeft="0" height="100%">

<mx:HBox id="snapShotSelect">
<form:FormItem label="My Label Here"
includeInLayout="{model.formItemVisible}"

visible="{model.formItemVisible}">
<components:SageTextInput textAlign="left"/>
</form:FormItem>

Use the following code : Please adjust the width of spacer according to your alignment requirements. Also Dont miss out mentioning the width of every HBox and VBox inside the formItem. Here, I am using all mx components.
<mx:Form>
<mx:FormItem width="100%">
<mx:VBox id="ContainerVBox" width="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%">
<mx:Label id="label1" text="my label here"/>
<mx:Spacer width="10%"/>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput1" text="This is text input 1"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput2" text="This is text input 2"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem width="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%">
<mx:Label id="label1" text="my label here"/>
<mx:Spacer width="10%"/>
<mx:ComboBox id="myComboBox"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem width="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%">
<mx:RadioButton id="myRadioButton"/>
<mx:Text text="Radio Button 1"/>
<mx:Spacer width="10%"/>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput3"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem width="100%">
<mx:VBox width="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%">
<mx:RadioButton id="myRadioButton"/>
<mx:Text text="Radio Button 2"/>
<mx:Spacer width="10%"/>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput4"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput5" text="This is text input 5"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:VBox>
