Re: [Flashcoders] Center align multiline textfield?
Call me silly (not to my face) but as far as I know autoSize works
perfectly well on multiline textfields, the only caveat is that you
actually have to write it properly
'autoSize' instead of 'autosize' (notice the capital 'S')
Keep in mind that with centered text the textfield will only size in
the vertical not in the horizontal.
cheers,
mario
Quoting Jake Prime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Autosize doesn't work in multiline textfields. If you think about it,
when you set autosize to true (or "right" or "center") you are asking
Flash to shrink the textfield to the smallest size possible to fit the
text. This is fine in a single line textfield, but with a mulitline
field Flash won't know whether to make the field shorter, narrower or
a combination.
As Giles has mentioned, use TextFormat.align:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
subhead.setTextFormat( format );

I'm trying to get a multiline textfield to be center aligned. Here's the
code:
this.createTextField('subhead',20,1,435,434,200);
with (this.subhead) {
html=true;
embedFonts=true;
selectable=false;
wordWrap=true;
multiline=true;
autosize='center';
htmlText='SI.com\'s Peter King says T.O. is going to explode
before long, but Dallas is tough enough to survive.';
}
The autosize seems to only work for single line textfields, not
multiline. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Center align multiline textfield?
"Autosize doesn't work in multiline textfields"
Not true. See example below...
var tf:TextField = _root.createTextField("tf", 0, 200, 200, 200, 200);
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.multiline = true;
tf.autoSize = true;
tf.text = "

Have you centred the text using TextFormat.align?
