I have a button (a simple rectangle) and I create a new layer and place text on the first keyframe while in Button Symbol Edit Mode. I now want to align the text in the center of the button. I drag over both the text and the button to select them both and than I open the Align Panel and I choose to align in the center. However, it is not aligning the text in the center and it is also moving the button to the left.
View 7 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.
Update: I downloaded a trial CS4 and the problem persists. This seems to be a mac issue. 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.
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 have a series of buttons, and as some of you may know, the text on the label is always centered. I just want to know if there is a way to make it left justified.I'm just using the button component in Flash CS5.5. In the properties there is a Label option, i forget the name of now, but it had "left, right, top, middle, etc" but this didn't seem to change anything.

is possible to align text in dynamic text control vertically to the middle? In flash CS3.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating Flash-based software that has text boxes where users write in the answers to questions. I want the text that the user types to be vertically aligned to the middle of the text box, so that even if the response is two or three lines, it is still centered in the box.
It doesn't appear that I can accomplish this through the properties window in Flash. Am I missing something? Or is it possible to set the properties of the text box with actionscript, and would that allow me to vertically align the text?
In Flash CS5, none of the align buttons work (in the align tab, in modify > align, or with ctrl + alt shortcuts). Right now I have to take the stage width and object width and put in the x and y coordinates manually to align objects.

View 2 RepliesWhen I do Publish settings (HTML tab), I would like to set it the way that my swf would be floating in the middle of the screen.However, I always end up with my website being "stuck" on the left or right side of the screen.These are the settings I have done, which result in the site being placed on left side of the screen:

DIMENSIONS: Match Movie
PLAYBACK: none is checked

I used the publish feature of flash but it does not seem to center the SWF in the browser. Why is there a centering feature on the publish settings under HTML tab if it does not center the SWF? It only works if you set Dimensions to Percent but that exposes the area beyond the stage and i don't want it to be seen. In addition that causes some movieclips to be improperly positioned. The Flash Alignment should have been disabled if the Dimensions is not set to Percent. Perhaps a simple script that centers my swf file in a browser..

View 2 RepliesI have 2 spark labels next to each other. They are in a basic layout and both have bottom set to 0. They have different font sizes (28 and 12).
Both fields only display numbers. I want the baseline of the numbers to line up.
At the moment they do not as there are no descenders and the descender area of the line is obviously a different height for the 2 different font sizes.

for (i = 0; i < maxLength - myString.length; i++){
myTextField.htmlText += " ";
