Get vertical labels to be close together

Question

I cant quite understand why two vertical label components dont appear right under each other. There seems to be a lot of space between them, is there anyway to get this space removed as setting padding makes no difference at all.

For example, take this layout code:

<mx:VBox>
<mx:Label text="Title" paddingBottom="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0" />
<mx:Label text="Second bit of text I want to appear right under the first" paddingBottom="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0" />
</mx:VBox>

Answer 1

Margin = 0?

Answer 2

You need to set the VBox's verticalGap to 0 or a suitable value.
