Extending FormItem and direction

Question

I am creating a class file that extends FormItem. I set the direction property to "horizontal" and to it I add a combobox and a numericstepper. But the resulting is always verticle. I have found this to be true if I create the FormItem with an MXML component also. Why does the direction property only work if I create the FormItem directly and set the property in the Flex Properties panel?

As i am using my own classloader which changes every instance of Socket to SocketProxy and ServerSocket to ServerSocketProxy (using a bytecode modification tool), and because the accept() return is of type Socket (and not SocketProxy) thats why i think it gives me error. (It loads some classes but gives error when accept() is called)
