Thanks Karthik I will give that a go
I used a variable field because the text only appears once the splat has tweened from tiny to large. Therefore I cannot access the splat_txt.text property as it does not exist on stage at this point Cheers Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Karthik Sent: 19 November 2005 14:21 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic text align vertically I'm just typing this off the cuff: //if you have a multiline textfield named test_txt on the stage //and want to align it vertically to the center of the stage test_txt.autoSize = true; //Always set the text via AS rather than use the variable field test_txt.text = "abcd \n efgh \n ijkl"; test_txt._y = (Stage.height - test_txt._height)/2; test_txt._x = (Stage.width - test_txt._width)/2; //Stage is a built in class..
