                    allowValueWrap="{checkBox.selected}" />
            <s:Label text="{spinner.value}" width="20" />
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>
 
</s:Application>

View source is enabled in the following example.

Or you can set the Boolean allowValueWrap property using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        <s:CheckBox id="checkBox"
                label="allowValueWrap"
                change="checkBox_changeHandler(event);" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
 
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            protected function checkBox_changeHandler(evt:Event):void {
                spinner.allowValueWrap = checkBox.selected;
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
 
    <mx:Form horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <mx:FormItem label="Spark Spinner:" direction="horizontal">
            <s:Spinner id="spinner"
                    minimum="0" maximum="20"
                    stepSize="2" />
            <s:Label text="{spinner.value}" width="20" />
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>
 
</s:Application>

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.
