                <mx:ComboBox id="comboBox"
                        dataProvider="{arr}" />
            </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>

    <mx:NumericStepper id="numericStepper"
            textAlign="{comboBox.selectedItem.label}"
            width="100" />

</mx:Application>

View source is enabled in the following example.

You can also set the textAlign style in an external .CSS file or <mx:Style /> block, as shown in the following snippet:

<mx:Style>
    NumericStepper {
        textAlign: right;
    }
</mx:Style>

Or, you can set the textAlign style using ActionScript, as shown in the following snippet:

<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        private function init():void {
            numericStepper.setStyle("textAlign", "right");
        }
    ]]>
</mx:Script>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" verticalAlign="middle" backgroundColor="white"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.NumericStepperEvent; private var nsMask:String = "000"; private function formatNumber(evt:Event):void { var value:String = numericStepper.value.toString(); value = (nsMask + value).substr(-nsMask.length); numericStepper.mx_internal::inputField.text = value; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:NumericStepper id="numericStepper" minimum="0" maximum="255" value="3" width="100" textAlign="center" creationComplete="formatNumber(event);" change="formatNumber(event);" /> </mx:Application>
