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:

```auto
var css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
css.load("ref/flash.css");

```

flash.css :

```auto
.link {
  text-align : right;
}

```

assigning stylesheet to textfield…

```auto
_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!
