I am having a problem with center aligned dynamic text (externaly loaded, css formatted,pixel fonts, embeded) I am using pixel font. I think the problem is not with the font. When I place the text box on the stage and manualy align it center - text is not blury.But since text is loaded from html and it is css formatted I have to center align it in my css file
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with my text alignment and I can't figure out a way to correct this. Unfortunately, I'm using a mac with CS3 and a Windows computer with CS4, so it could either be an OS difference, a version difference, or a software bug which I can't figure out.
For some reason, the text on my Mac with CS3 are not in the vertical center of the text fields. This causes a problem with my "align vertical centers" alignments, meaning I've had to do the alignment by hand to get it to look right. When I moved my file to my laptop to keep working on my project at home, I noticed that the text alignment was correct on my laptop, causing all of the text placement throughout my document to be off. This means that I can only work on the one computer and can't bring the project home to work through the weekends.
I have made an image showing the difference of how the text is aligned on the two versions, and a sample of how it affects my project when i bring it between computers.
I made the file on the mac (CS3) first, and so the alignment is designed to look correct on there. When i bring it to the PC (CS4) the text shifts down, placing it back in the center of the text boxes and ruining the alignment.
When I publish the file it keeps the formatting of each system. IE - publishing on the mac makes the final product look like it does on the mac, and publishing on the windows computer makes it look like it looks on the windows computer. The file published from the mac has the mac alignment on both computers, and the file published from the pc has the alignment of the pc on both computers.
I have finally finished my website. It works great, except the website is placed far on the left side of the screen. I would like my website to be placed in death center, kind of floating in the center and stay the same size regardless of how viewer adjusts the window size.I am trying to change alignment in PUBLISH SETTINGS (html alignment) but there is no "center" option. Only right, left, top, bottom. Here is the link to my posted .html: [URL]
View 3 RepliesMy workspace is 1000X1200 and I have a background image in Flash 1920 width. I want the SWF to aligned to center in the HTML with a regular browser scroller.
I'm trying to publish 100% X 100% with no scale but the scroll bar doesn't show from bottom to top and the SWF parts are missing!
How can I make it to show the background (what outside stage) with regular browsers scrollers and align to center?
I want to draw a simple circle behind my class both center aligned, but I'm getting problems with the coordenates of my class/movieclip.Here is my class.
public class SM extends MovieClip {
public var auxx:Number;
public var auxy:Number;[code].....
I think that my class/movieclip isn't at (100,50) because when I manually substitute 'auxx' and 'auxy' in drawCircle for 100 and 50, still not ok.
I am trying to apply a new text format to my text field on a movie clip onRollOver. The new text format is properly/correctly applied when I moused over, and the main difference that is applied onRollOver is to have the text underlined. The only problem I'm having with this is that the actual underline itself appears to be about two pixels to the left of my text string so it looks like its not aligned properly with the text.[CODE]...
View 0 RepliesI have a text box that is 100x100. How can I make the text start aligning along the bottom? So if I have 1 line of text its on the bottom of the text box, if I have 2 lines of text...its the bottom 2 lines of the text box, if i Have 5 lines of text...it takes up the whole box, starting from the top?

View 2 RepliesIf I want to align things vertically in a container, I'll use verticalAlign="middle", but this doesn't exactly solve the problem of truly aligning text vertically. Text is always too high vertically, so in the past, I've just adjusted paddingTop and paddingBottom to compensate, but that doesn't work as the font for _sans differs from operating system to operating system.
Given the following layout code, you'll see the problem:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code]....
What happens is pretty clear. The horizontal line gets aligned to the exact middle of the box, but the text is offset by some arbitrary amount. I assume that this is because of the text baseline alignment or something. Is there a way to fix this regardless of the font size and face? I'd like to have the line essentially go right through the middle of the text, ignoring the extra space possibly needed for below the logical line of text (ie: ignore the bottom part of "g's" and "j's" when laying things out).
I want to design a registration form using only ActionScript, i have designed labels and text boxes but using label.x = "10" label.y="40" text.x = "50" text.y ="40"... to align correctly. But i want to design a layout such that all labels and text boxes will be aligned properly.

Just to clarify, the way flash handles text fields on windows / cs4 is how I imagine it should be. I made the file on mac/CS3 however, and so when i said "ruins the alignment" I should have said "fixes the alignment problem, but breaks my alignment which was made to compensate for the problem I was experiencing."
I was wondering how to center dynamic text in a text box?I tried setting the TEXTINSTANCENAME.html object to true, and then setting the TEXTINSTANCENAME.htmlText to text wrapped in the <center> and </center> html tags, but it didn't work. The text is still too far to the left.

I need to display a message in a flash project I'm working on. The message needs to be centered on screen, and can only be created using code.

I have this news scroller for work - Vertical member (160 X 600) And the idea is that it has 3 text fields (Headlines). These fields are lined up vertically (one at the top of the scroller, one at the middle, and one at the bottom.). I load them dynamically from XML, and after about 5 seconds, I have them all move up. (the top one goes up the top, and comes back from the bottom, the other two move up). The problem is that I am trying to center justify them, and it is giving me problems. When they're loaded I can center justify them, using this code:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.centerFunction = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
[code]....
Now, when they are first center justified by the code, they look slightly off, and once they move they arrange themselves correctly.
My flash movie is 1440x900 but the area where all the important stuff happens in within 1024x768, i am trying to keep the middle in the center regardless of browers size or aspect ratio.
I can center the page but it doesn't work as i need it to. If the browers is small (1024x768) the swf is justified against the left edge, but not keeping the middle in the middle of the brower.
[URL] is an example of exactly what i am trying to achieve.
please look at this jpg its a screen shot of a standard flash doc on my comp - as you can see the page is aligned to the left and i don't know how to centre this in a page its frustrating because i cant bleed objects off the left of the page.
View 2 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience. I cant get some alignment right. I've followed this tutorial exactly and this is where i am stuck, below are the instructions and how it should look:
This is how mine looks, as you can see its out of place:
I'm finishing up a project that has a grid of 60 buttons -- two different button movieclips on which I've done some scripting for links, alpha tweens, etc. Each instance of the movieclip button is uniquely named.
In side each of the two different style of movieclip buttons is a dynamic text field that, unfortunately, is sized to the dimensions of the movieclip background. Thus, when dynamic text is pulled in (from XML-based arrays) to populate the movieclip buttons, it is top aligned if only 1 line long. Given this current setup, how can I dynamically center (vertically and horiztonally) the dynamic text field within each of the two movieclip buttons?
Just wondering if it is possible to vertically center the text in a button component?
View 4 RepliesI have my movieclip follow my cursor but it appears in the top left cornor of the screen when I click the button and never alligns with the cursor.
Code:
public function gomust (e:MouseEvent):void
{
var mustMC:mustmc = new mustmc;
[code]....
getting two movieclips aligned when one moves
you see i put
ActionScript Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.mask_mc._y = _root.player._y
[Code]....
Is it possible to force movieclips to be aligned to the top of your swf? but not have them overlap, so they stack underneath? For example, i have 4 movie clips on my stage, the stage is 800px tall. the movie clips are about 150px tall. How through actionscripting how would i force them so that the top movieclip aligns to the top of the stage, and then the rest align directly under it? The 4 movieclips are also dynamically re-arrangeable. You can drag them into a different order.

When you drag the screen in any direction the background scales and rezises.But How do I make the text stay center and a certain size so that it wont scale to fit the screen and will stay a certain size
