So you are desperate looking for that all snippet for centering things? I’ve been looking during hours until I found the solution
In Flex 3 you may use this to center elements on a container:
width=”100%” height=”100%“ horizontalAlign=”center” verticalAlign=”middle“ >
But with Spark things has changed and now you need to write a little more code
width=”100%” height=”100%“>
columnAlign=”justifyUsingWidth” rowAlign=”justifyUsingHeight” horizontalAlign=”center” verticalAlign=”middle” requestedColumnCount=”1” requestedRowCount=”1” />
/>
I don’t know if this is the best way to do that, but is the only one I found so far…
I hope this snippet help you!!!!

It’s true, HorizontalLayout implements a similar HBox container but you can’t use horizontalAlign. The same occurs with VerticalLayout with verticalAlign.
HorizontalLayout/HGroup does now support horizontalAlign in Flex 4. Similarly VerticalLayout/VGroup now supports verticalAlign. This was not available in beta2, but is available in recent nightly builds. See this post for more information: http://flexponential.com/2010/01/20/major-axis-al...
