Question

TextField autoSize and its Position within a Sprite

I am really confused, I have a Sprite Container, to this container I add 2 Sprites (first one at 0,0 and second one at 100,0), and after that I add 2 TextFields at the same position as the 2 Sprites. I set the TextFields autoSize property to TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER, assuming that they autosize depending on the Text. But the 2nd TextField's text isn't really centered. See screenshot. Maybe someone can enlighten me

Ummm, let me think

var sprite1:Sprite = new Sprite();

sprite1.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF);

sprite1.graphics.drawRect(x, y, 100, 100);

sprite1.graphics.endFill();

var sprite2:Sprite = new Sprite();

sprite2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF);

sprite2.graphics.drawRect(x, y, 100, 100);

sprite2.graphics.endFill();

sprite2.x = 300;

addChild(sprite1);

addChild(sprite2);

and after that I add the TextFields and set the 2nd TextFields x property to 300

x and y are undefined in your code and would trigger a compiler error, if that were your code.

copy and paste (only) the relevant code.
