It also lets you use style sheets to configure the appearance of your forms.  <p>The following table describes the components you use to create forms in Flex:</p> <table class=&quot;innertable&quot;> <tr> <th>Component</th> <th>Tag</th> <th>Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Form</td> <td><code>&lt;mx:Form&gt;</code></td> <td>Defines the container for the entire form, including the overall form layout. Use the FormHeading control and FormItem container to define content. You can also insert other types of components in a Form container.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>FormHeading</td> <td><code>&lt;mx:FormHeading&gt;</code></td> <td>Defines a heading within your form. You can have multiple FormHeading controls within a single Form container.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>FormItem</td> <td><code>&lt;mx:FormItem&gt;</code></td> <td>Contains one or more form children arranged horizontally or vertically. Children can be controls or other containers. A single Form container can hold multiple FormItem containers.</td> </tr> </table>   <p>The <code>&lt;mx:Form&gt;</code> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass and adds the following tag attributes:</p>  <pre>\\n &lt;mx:Form\\n <strong>Styles</strong>\\n horizontalGap=&quot;8&quot;\\n indicatorGap=&quot;14&quot;\\n labelWidth=&quot;<i>Calculated</i>&quot;\\n paddingBottom=&quot;16&quot;\\n paddingTop=&quot;16&quot;\\n verticalGap=&quot;6&quot;\\n &gt;\\n ...\\n <i>child tags</i>\\n ...\\n &lt;/mx:Form&gt;\\n </pre>",
