</s:layout>

<s:TextInput widthInChars="5" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="15" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="25" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="50" />

<s:TextInput widthInChars="5" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="15" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="25" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
<s:TextInput widthInChars="50" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />

</s:View>
