This is a simple but laborious thing, and I’ll share my method.
First you need to determine the reference object, such as the circular symbol you mentioned,
Open the Transform panel and select the circle to enlarge it. In order for other elements to be centered around the circle, the reference object must be wider than the other elements.
Select the text and circle to align them horizontally, then reset the zoom (or return them to their original size).
Now you have a rounded shape with centered text
Please pardon my late reply.
Here's an implementation that's the best and most simple and fexible solution I've ever seen so far: It aligns to the bounding box of the last multi-selected object. It's up to you which object you determine as the one to be aligned to:
This implementation was developed by Corel in their CorelDRAW suite back in 1988.
Hey, I recently used this alignment function. After thinking about it, I wrote an auxiliary script. Put the following code into a file with the suffix name .jsfl and place it in the following path
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Animate <version number>\en_US（language）\Configuration\Commands\
This way you can use it in the command window.
Alignment.jsfl
var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var selection = dom.selection;
if (selection.length < 2) {
alert("Please select at least two objects!");
} else {
// Sort the selected elements from left to right, with the leftmost element as the standard
selection.sort(function (a, b) {
return a.left - b.left;
});
// Record the x position of the leftmost element
var leftmostX = selection[0].x;
dom.align('horizontal center', false);
// Assign the X position of the leftmost element to other elements
for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
if (selection[i].x !== undefined) {
selection[i].x = leftmostX;
}
}
}The script has some usage conditions,
1. The object to be fixed must be ensured to be at the leftmost of all elements, that is, other elements must be to the right of the fixed object,
2. It can only be used for symbols with the registration point in the middle, otherwise it will not work correctly,
I just tried it again. If the operation objects are all groups, they can also be perfectly aligned.
You only need to ensure that the fixed object as a symbol is on the far left and the registration point is centered. The properties of other elements do not have to force the symbol type.
This function needs to be improved, because we can't see what the selected object is after selecting it. It can be used like this for now, and it needs further improvement.
It would be better if someone can add it, so let's solve this problem together.
These are the available states：
