public align : String

A string that indicates the alignment of the paragraph. You can apply this property to static and dynamic text. The following list shows possible values for this property:

• "left"--the paragraph is left-aligned.
• "center"--the paragraph is centered.
• "right"--the paragraph is right-aligned.

The default value is null, which indicates that the property is undefined.

Example

The following example creates a text field with a border and uses TextFormat.align to center the text.

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.align = "center";

this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "this is my first text field object text";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
