ok, ok, then I am totally offroads, once again .... :D
sorry Glen :(
oops, I misread your question, sorry.
Regarding a TextLineFactory (ie: the "simple" text engine):
a) you can directly pass the paragraphFormat attributes to the
'createTextLinesFromString'
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/textlayout/flashx/textLayout/
factory/TextLineFactory.html#createTextLinesFromString()>
b) you can pass the TextFlow instance if you create your text line
from a textflow object (createTextLinesFromTextFlow)
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/textlayout/flashx/textLayout/
factory/TextLineFactory.html#createTextLinesFromTextFlow()>
- API docs:
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/textlayout/>
And I'd like to recommend you to read this white paper (pdf)
<http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/textlayout/
textlayout_flashcomponent_overview.pdf>
It *seems* hard to grab, but when you read it everything gets
clearer. Btw, I need to read it again :)

Hello Glen,
Assuming you have a TextFlow instance called 'myTextFlow), you can
tweak the paragraphFormat property:
var paragraphFormat = new ParagraphFormat
(myTextFlow.paragraphFormat);
paragraphFormat.textAlign = "right"; // "left", "center",
"justify", "start", "end" (start/end is useful for RTL + LTR multi
language applications)
myTextFlow.paragraphFormat = paragraphFormat;
myTextFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
This applies the new paragraphFormat.align property to your whole
textFlow object (ie: all the text).
hth,

Hi,
Quick question about the new text engine in Flash 10...
I am using the "simple" text engine rather than the full on
text layout framework, but can anyone tell me how I set the
alignment of a TextElement / TextBlock / TextLine???
Thanks..
Glen
