Checkbox with vertical label - FB mobil app

Question

How can I create in Flash Builder a checkbox with a vertical label. Has someone an example code?
The label should be under the checkbox (but in center):
CheckBox
L
A
B
E
L
Great thanks, M.

I think the whole reason that this post was even necesary was because the original Check box wasn't written properly (see my comments on this page http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=cellrenderer_4.html ).  Note that mx checkbox implements IDataRenderer, so you should be able to use it as a renderer with this tweak, as long as the Spark DataGrid allows you to set column alignment as MX data grid (or you don't need it centered).
In Flex 4, ItemRenderer is really just a Group with a couple of extra bells and whistles.  At the simplest level, you can just bind its selected property to some boolean field on the data object if you know its format in advance.  However, that's not going to give you a reusable check box.  To do that, you need to either write code that can translate the string label field into a Boolean, or something that can combine the DefaultDataGridRenderer's data property with the dataField property on DefaultDataGridRenderer's column object and again come up with a Boolean.
You can either make this Boolean a Bindable variable or, if you're comfortable with the component life cycle, you can do the getter/setter + commitProperties to set it more directly on a custom Check Box skinPart.
