Just shoot me now, for the life of me I have been unable to get this text box to display centered.

PLEASE put me out of my missery !

[AS]  
this.createTextField(“f\_pack\_amount\_text”, 0, 0, 0, 80, 16);

f\_pack\_amount\_text.setNewTextFormat(new TextFormat(“Verdana”, 10));  
f\_pack\_amount\_text.align = “center”;  
f\_pack\_amount\_text.border = true;

```
                  f_pack_amount_text.text = 10;

```

[/AS]

It’s a TextFormat property, not a TextField property! 😉  
[AS]this.createTextField(“f\_pack\_amount\_text”, 0, 0, 0, 80, 16);  
var myTextFormat = new TextFormat();  
myTextFormat.font = “Verdana”;  
myTextFormat.size = 10;  
myTextFormat.align = “center”;  
f\_pack\_amount\_text.setNewTextFormat(myTextFormat);  
f\_pack\_amount\_text.border = true;  
f\_pack\_amount\_text.text = 10;[/AS]
