Flex Spark form, horizontally aligning form items - actionscript-3

This is the scenario:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<s:HGroup>
<s:Form>
<s:FormItem label="label1">
<s:TextInput/>
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label2">
<s:TextInput/>
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label3">
<s:TextInput/>
</s:FormItem>
</s:Form>
<s:Form>
<s:FormItem label="label1">
<s:Label text="soemthing"/>
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label2">
<s:Label text="soemthing"/>
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label3">
<s:Label text="soemthing"/>
</s:FormItem>
</s:Form>
</s:HGroup>
</s:Application>
And the question is, which would be the right way to align each formItem of the left form with the ones on the right form?

Use TileLayout for your form:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<s:Form>
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="2"
verticalAlign="middle" />
</s:layout>
<s:FormItem label="label1">
<s:TextInput />
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label1">
<s:Label text="something" />
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label2">
<s:TextInput />
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label2">
<s:Label text="something" />
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label3">
<s:TextInput />
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="label3">
<s:Label text="something" />
</s:FormItem>
</s:Form>
</s:Application>

show another image on top of the background image inflex 4

I have created a application with Background image using skin class. I want to show some images on top of the image in application. Can you please suggest how to do that in flex 4.
Code is here :
BackGroundImageskin:-
<fx:Metadata>
[HostComponent("spark.components.supportClasses.SkinnableComponent")]
</fx:Metadata>
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
<s:BitmapImage source="#Embed('Img/asianwoman.jpg')" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0" smooth="true"/>
Main application:-
<fx:Declarations>
<!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
</fx:Declarations>
<s:Group visible="true">
<mx:Image source="Img/News1.png" visible="true" />
<s:Button label="My Button"/>
</s:Group>
Here New1.png is not displaying and only background image displaying

Bug in TextArea control of Flash

<s:TextArea id="txtAddress" x="118" y="31" width="150" height="88" maxChars="100"
tabIndex="2"/>
txtAddress.text="AAAAAAAAAAAA CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC P OABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZWSDER-682021";
This actionscript code crashes flash plugin. Some times it will not crash but the text inside the text area will be overwrite twice. The same is happening with every browser I have tested. I think this is flash's bug.
(Please note that if width of the textarea or if the value changes, it will work fine)
Can any one comment on this?
Below is the markup code:
<s:BorderContainer x="2" y="32" height="125" width="565" borderColor="#488AC7"

<s:Label x="12" y="13" text="Name" fontWeight="normal" />
<s:TextInput x="118" y="3" width="150" id="txtName" maxChars="100" tabIndex="1" />
<s:Label x="12" y="40" text="Address" fontWeight="normal"/>
<s:TextArea id="txtAddress" x="118" y="31" width="150" height="88" maxChars="100"
tabIndex="2"/>
<s:Label x="302" y="13" text="Phone No." fontWeight="normal"/>
<s:Label x="302" y="40" text="Mobile" fontWeight="normal" />
<s:TextInput id="txtMobile" x="407" y="31" width="150" maxChars="15" tabIndex="4"/>
<s:Label x="302" y="70" text="Email" fontWeight="normal" />
<s:TextInput id="txtEmail" x="407" y="60" width="150" maxChars="100" tabIndex="5"/>
<s:Label x="302" y="101" text="ECS Account NO"/>
<s:TextInput id="txtECSAcNo" x="407" y="91" width="150" tabIndex="6"/>

This is isolated to your system or implementation.
What you have provided is functional:

<s:TextArea id="txtAddress"
x="118"
y="31"
width="150"

it seems somewhere else, you set the fontsize of the textarea to an invalid value. I had the same problem before, maybe somewhere you just set it to some value like "10px".

Adding a rollover state to a Spark Button when state is disabled

I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.
I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
Thanks.
Try to use the following:
package
{
import spark.components.Button;
[SkinState("overDisabled")]
public class ButtonWithOverInDisabled extends Button
{
private var _enabledInvalidaationPhase:Boolean = false;
private var _explicitMouseChildren:Boolean = true;
private var _explicitMouseEnabled:Boolean = true;
override public function get enabled():Boolean
{
if (_enabledInvalidaationPhase)
return true;
return super.enabled;
}
override public function set enabled(value:Boolean):void
{
_enabledInvalidaationPhase = true;
super.enabled = value;
super.mouseChildren = _explicitMouseChildren;
super.mouseEnabled = _explicitMouseEnabled;
_enabledInvalidaationPhase = false;
}
override public function set mouseChildren(value:Boolean):void
{
super.mouseChildren = value;
_explicitMouseChildren = value;
}
override public function set mouseEnabled(value:Boolean):void
{
super.mouseEnabled = value;
_explicitMouseEnabled = value;
}
override protected function getCurrentSkinState():String
{
if ((hovered || mouseCaptured) && !enabled)
return "overDisabled";
return super.getCurrentSkinState();
}
}
}
