I'm trying to center text in a field within a graphic (circle). The

Update - I haven't been able to find a reliable means of calculating the
center of text using any field properties so I resorted to exporting a
snapshot of the field (opaque = false) to an image, grabbing the
alphadata of the image and determining extreme left, top, right, bottom
of the text by looping through it.
Does this work? :
on mouseUp
set the width of fld 1 to the width of grc 1 -- the circle
get the textsize of fld 1
set the textheight of fld 1 to it + (it div 3)
set the height of fld 1 to the formattedheight of fld 1
set the margins of fld 1 to the textheight of fld 1 div 3
set the loc of fld 1 to the loc of grc 1
end mouseUp
The field must have fixedLineHeight set to false. You might have to
jiggle the margins and textheight calcs a little bit.
