Is it possible to have text in a dynamic textfield vertically centered? I wish to have the text vertically centered on a colored rectangle. Sometimes that text will have 1 line and sometimes 2. So I was wondering if there was a way to have that textfield vertically centered on that rectangle to no matter what that text will always be in the center of that shape?
CreateJS has a getMeasuredHeight() function. If you have a dynamic textfield named "tt", and a movieclip named "line" (that is just a thin stroke), this script would center the text on the line:
this.tt.text = "hello world";
//this.tt.text = "hello world how are you doing today isn't it nice weather";
var theight = this.tt.getMeasuredHeight();
this.tt.y = this.line.y - theight / 2;
Try uncommenting the second line to see the effect.
