I have a 125px by 125px box with a label system attached to the movie clip is a class that handles the xml and functionality of the menu. This label has some different text that needs to fit in it each time, easy. The problem is i need to center both x and y inside that text box sort of like a align=center valign= middle in html. Is there a way to acomplish this?
