hmmm…i’ve searched the forum but can not find an answer to why my text would not begin at the 0,0 origin of my textbox. i’ve copied the tutorial word for word so i dont know what i could have done wrong. Any suggestions from past experiences anyone? :love: ~ Seretha B. ---

…so am I the only one who’s ever come across this? It just doesn’t fit right to the top, it leaves about 2-3 lines width of text space above it… ---

what’s the registration point of the text box? also, fonts have all that leading, descenders, ascenders and kerning stuff, so it’s not like placing a graphic. “T” sits very differently than “p”, but too much “T” leads to “p” (but don’t confuse leads with leading). Oops, watch that virtual SARS! ---

99.99% of the time, my movieclips are always set with the registration point at the upper left. Even though I have seen some pixel fonts that say to set the registration point at the center left. ---

same with the text fields. here is some crazy mad code to dynamically generate scrolling text fields over at [as.org](http://as.org) [http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=28400&pagenumber=1](http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=28400&pagenumber=1).
