Adobe Animate dynamic text positioning

Hi everyone,

 

I'm creating dynamic banners in Animate at the moment and I want to use dynamic text fields. The problem is that the textfields are changing in size (more or less text inserted via Excel) and they are always positioned through the stage value. So when the upper text is longer the lower text is beneath it and so on. 

Is there a possibilty to set a dynamic position to the fields like "always keep 5px distance to the other element" or something like that? 

 

Help is very much appreciated! 

Thank you!!

Hi.

 

You would have to use JavaScript for it. Regular text fields in Animate are canvas objects so that they don't follow the box model flow.

 

And please give us more details so we can help you better.

 

Regards,

JC
