Flash :: Css Text-align Won't Work

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!

Css Text-align Won't Work
Heylo!

I'm trying to align some text to the right with css but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's the code i used:

Code:
var css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
css.load("ref/flash.css");
flash.css :

Code:
.link {
text-align: right;
}
assigning stylesheet to textfield..

Code:
_root.link.styleSheet = css;
_root.link.text = '<span class="link">sometext</span>';
This won't work, but when i replace the text align in the css file with, say, color : #ff9900;, it does work..

What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

Right Align Text - It Doesn't Work
This is so simple yet apparently beyond reason.

When I add 'htmltext' to the AS loading a text box (in referance to the XML gallery), the align right I have in the properties box does not work.

Any ideas?

Centre Align Just Does Not Work?
I have made a site and in the publish settings (html) I made sure that center was chosen, yet when I test the movie in a browser, it is always on the left of the screen??

The only way I can center it is to manually add center tags to to html that flash produces as you can see if you look at the html on the following page

http://www.galaxymusic.co.uk/spree.html

Why is this? what is the point of the html options in the flash settings if they don't even work???????

Thank you.

Align Wont Work, Why?

Picture Align Script Don't Work Properly => Still Problem
dear flashers,

i have this script here that loads an external .jpg and centers it in a swf.
this swf i load in the maintimeline. actually it works perfectly but sometimes the center part of the script doesn't seem to work an my picture is placed somewhere else. does anyone have an idea?

Code:

var tl = this;

if (bildnr == 0){
   bildnr = 1;
   }
loader._visible = false;

tl.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",tl.getNextHighestDepth());

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var mclL:Object = new Object();

mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {
prozent = Math.round((loaded/total) * 100);
loader._visible = true;
//loader.percent.text = prozent + "% data loaded";
loader.balken._xscale = prozent;

}

mclL.onLoadInit = function() {
loader.percent.text = "";
}

mcl.addListener(mclL);

//mcl.loadClip("women/claudia_o/bild1.jpg",holder);

mcl.loadClip(whoopie+"/"+model+"/bild"+bildnr+".jpg",holder);

//tl.holder.loadMovie(whoopie+"/"+model+"/bild"+bildnr+".jpg");

tl.createEmptyMovieClip("checker", tl.getNextHighestDepth());

tl.checker.onEnterFrame = function() {

if (tl.holder.getBytesLoaded()>=4) {

var l = tl.holder.getBytesLoaded();

var t = tl.holder.getBytesTotal();

var p = Math.ceil(l*100/t);

if (p>=100) {

tl.holder._x = (127)-(tl.holder._width/2);

tl.holder._y = (158)-(tl.holder._height/2);

delete this.onEnterFrame;

tl.play();
}
}

}

stop();

the loader part is from one the lees scripts. the rest is from me, that's why is messed up a bit.

the page where this is in use is http://www.expressive.ch/site/

may thanks for your help

EDIT: this scripts runs when you click on women or men.

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

Text Align Right Issue
When using dynamic text and you set the text alignment to "align right", the text is supposed to flow right to left correct? With my code below I can't seem to get this to happen. All my text is flowing left to right.

ActionScript Code:
// change title _global.changeTitle = function(title:String) { // set title text _root.vid.title.autoSize = true; _root.vid.title.text = title;};changeTitle("A Global Industry");

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...

Align Text In Label Component
Hello all,

I've used the label component (Not the text object!) to show XML data in a clip.

Works fine. Now I want to align the text in the component. The manual says "Use setStyle" So I tried:

PHP Code:

//Load data from dataset component
this.myDataConnection.trigger();

//The object
fillLabels = new Object ();
fillLabels.afterLoaded = function (evt) {

_root.myLabelName.text = myDataSetName.items[0].valueOne;
_root.myLabelName.setStyle("align", "right");

}
//Listener
this.myDataSetName.addEventListener ("afterLoaded", fillLabels);

But that failed to work.

So I tried putting on the html parameter to true and include <div align="right">My text</div> But the label component doesn't support div's.

I'm out of of a clue and sure could use a hint here!

Thanks for replying.

Center Align Text - Vertically
Hello all,
Does anyone know how you would center the registration point of a dynamic text field?

I have a dynamic text field that the user can choose the font size of, and also rotate. I need the rotation point to be the centre of the text box, which I can do, until the text is resized, as it resizes the vertical axis 'down' only - i.e: the text 'moves down on the screen and the registration point stays where it is, and therefore the registration point is off centre, vertically.

Is there a way to have the registration point move to the centre of the text field when it is resized?

Thanks - any ideas appreciated,

DrGonzo.

< table width="100%" height="100%" border="1">
< tr >
< td align="right" valign="bottom">mytext< /td >
< /tr >

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 :(

Dynamic Text Align Bottom
Hi all,

Just a 'simple' question regarding aligning dynamic text to the bottom.
Here is what i have.

Textbox set to a fixed height/width and inside i have dynamic text (loaded through XML file).
What i would like to know is how i can align the text at the bottom.

I know CSS can be used, but how do i write just a simple code inside flash directly instead of having it read an external .css file ?

thank U

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....

Trying To Center Align Dynamic Html Text
I'm trying to center align some dynamic html text. I've created a wide text field and have selected center alignment in the Properties dialogue. The center alignment seems to work until I set the field to use HTML.

Flash help says:

The following HTML attributes are supported in text fields: LEFTMARGIN, RIGHTMARGIN, ALIGN, INDENT, and LEADING.

How can I specify the alignment properly? Please see attached file.

Vertical Align HTML Text In Textfield

Center Align Not Working On HTML Text
Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me why a dynamic textfield that is set to center alignment in the property inspector would switch to left-aligned after I set it to be an HTML field? Does formatting not carry over to an HTML field? If not, shouldn't the alignment settings gray out once you select HTML in the inspector, if they're not actually doing anything?

I also tried to just include simple <center></center> tags in the text to try to overcome the issue, but I guess that's too much HTML for the text field to understand...

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Text Align Error After Hovering Over A Link
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have a dynamically loaded text from a .txt file that is CSS formated and includes an image. When it is initially loaded, it displays correct but when I roll over a link the whole text changes its aligment to the end of the picture...
It is kinda hard to explain, so you can check it out for yourself - just go to maciejwantusiak.republika.pl -> english/polski -> menu -> my updates/wiadomosci -> and scroll the page to see the picture at the bottom and then roll over a link to see what happens.

Is this a common Flash problem or is it something that I have to do?
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
