Flash :: [MX04] Vertical Align

Vertical Align Text...
does Flash support the html valign tag in a dynamic text box or not?!
i'm getting syntax errors when i try to do this.
i need the text in a dynamic text box to vertically align.
the project is a centered, circular button with a dynamic text field for its title. the text changes in length and i need it to always be in the middle of the button. So actually i need centered and vertically align to middle.

Please help!

If anyone has a different suggestion as to how i could go about getting the same visual result, i will entertain all ideas...

Dymatic Text: Is It Possible To Vertical Align?
ok, i have a dymatic text box. let's say i use the varibale "dytext".
in the author mode, you can align horizonally left, center, or right.
But what about vertical?
i only know i can vertically align the table using the html:

Code:
< table width="100%" height="100%" border="1">
< tr >
< td align="right" valign="bottom">mytext< /td >
< /tr >
< /table >
if i input this into the varible "dytext" and render it html, what if i still need to add some more text to the "mytext" ?
Is there any actionscript to configure the dymatic text to vertically align to the bottum?
btw: the actionscript "newline" could it be worked when i render it as html?

please help :(

Vertical Align HTML Text In Textfield
Anyone know how to vertically align HTMLtext in a text field... ie. the same as valign="middle" in HTML...Doesn't work inside of flash.

Vertical Align HTMLtext In Dynamic Txtbox?
Anyone know how to vertically align HTMLtext in a dyn. text field... ie. the same as valign="middle" in HTML...Doesn't work inside of flash.

Vertical Align Middle Dynamic Text
I have a flash file, which uses flashvars to define an image and some text that appears after the image. Here's the ActionScript I'm currently using to draw this dynamic info:

Code:

this.createTextField("product_title", 1, -8, 41, 580, 74);
product_title.html = true;
product_title.wordWrap = true;
product_title.multiline = true;
product_title.selectable = false;

product_title.htmlText = themessage;

Here's the code for the flashvars:

Code:

<embed src="preview.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1024" height="717" name="preview" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="themessage=<img src='sample_logo.jpg' width='79' height='64'><b><font face='arial' size='25'>Some Text</font></b>"/>
<param name="flashvars" value="themessage=<img src='sample_logo.jpg' width='79' height='64'><b><font face='arial' size='25'>Some Text</font></b>" />

This works fine, however the text is drawn at the top, inline with the top of the image. I want the text to be centered vertically with the image. Any suggestions on how I might pull this off?

Thanks in advance!

How To Vertical-align TextInput Box Of Compiled Component Via GetStyle
Hello,

In Flash I use compiled components (from the standard components in the program files folder, lay-out wiht themes / skins) for a mailinglist field with button, TextArea & TextInput.

I gave Style to the TextArea and TextInput via GetStyle codes in actionscript in de main-timeline. For example: backgroundColor, Borderstyle, Color (for the text), etc.

However, even after searching a lot, it seems not possible to change vertical alignment into center for the TextInput component.

Textinput doesn't look nice now... Too small, but when I increase text height text bottum disappears...

Versions: Flash CS3 / Actionscript 2.0

Vertical Align Text In Dynamic Text Area
Have just created my first database driven dynamic text box and it works

Just one problem...

One of the dynamic text areas is multi-line and try as I might I can't seem to find any way to set the vertical alignment of the text to 'middle' vertically...

i.e. if the text is only a couple of words, it aligns to the top of the textarea and I'd like it to align to the middle of the text area vertically.

Any ideas???

Thanks

How Do People Middle Align Their Flash Sites Now Since V-align Code Doesn't Work?
Before, I was able to use the code v-align middle on my html page and my flash swf would align middle. Now that code does not work and it only works if I do not put doc info at the top of my html page, like xthml, etc.

How are people enabling their Flash site to always align center and middle.

Anyone have any codes that work or samples I could use.

Thanks!

Fullscreen / Align / Stage.align
Need help over here...

I got a fullscreen document.
The menu must always be aligned to the top left on every screen and
resolution size. So the following code

-->// Stage.align = "LT";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

Now i want to align a MC always in centre on every screen and resolution size. I tried this code....

-->// this.attachMovie("backgrounMC", "backgrounMC", 1000000);
titleClip.onResize = function() {
this._x = Stage.width-(this._width+10);
this._y = -1;
};
Stage.addListener(backgrounMC);
this.backgrounMC.onResize();

Above code is not the right solution.....
Because of the Stage.align = "TL" it is hard to align my backgroundMC always to the centre on every screen and resolution size.

Does somebody knows a solution.....?
My menu must always be aligned to the top left, and my backgroundMC
must always be aligned to the centre no matter what resolution size or screen size.

Thanx in advance....

Re-align Images On The Fly
I've got a banner that is 5 images wide, my client wants to beable to change the images still using 5 images, but the widths may change. For example, the space is 600 px wide (the height is constant) so the images might be 120,200,85,155,40 then he wants to load 5 new images dynamically so now they are 80,120,150,50,200, what I need to happen is when he replaces the images (knowing they have to be 600 pixels total length) that the edges re-align themselves. Any ideas? Thanks
