I have a dynamic text box with externally loaded text. I want the text to be centered in the box but i cant seem to figure it out. im pretty new at this so ive been going through loads of tutorials to get this website up.

so is there a code i need to use for the text box or do i need to put a code on my txt document???

im using this code for the text box:

myLoadVar = new LoadVars();  
myLoadVar.load(“photos.txt”);  
myLoadVar.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success == true) {  
output.variable = “photos”;  
output.htmlText = myLoadVar.photos;  
}  
};

and the instance name for the dynamic text box: output

thanks in advance 🙂
