I am using a Dynamic Text Box named (headline) that reads an external file saved as Headline.txt. The only thing I haven’t been able to do, is center the text. It stays left justified. I tried using the center bars in ‘Paragraph’ but no use.  
I’ve tried \<center\> \</center\> but with no luck.  
Any suggestions??

Here is what’s in the external file:  
headline=\<center\>\<font face=“Franklin Gothic Heavy” size=“30”  
color="#FFFFFF"\>Dinner Party!\</font\>\</center\>

On Frame 71 I have this AS:  
stop ();  
ifFrameLoaded (71) {  
loadVariablesNum (“Headline.txt”, 0);  
// loadVariablesNum (“empty2.txt”, 0);  
// unloadMovie (behind\_arrow);  
// answer = " ";  
}
