Hi,

you could use the text format object,

code:

---

// create the text format object

var fmt = new TextFormat();

fmt.align = "left";



// and place the text hello world in a textfield (instance name txt)

txt.text = "hello world";

txt.setTextFormat(fmt);



// create an onPress event for the button (instance name btn)

btn.onPress = function() {

    // if the alignment was left set it to right, otherwise set it to left

    fmt.align = fmt.align == "left" ? "right" : "left";

    // apply the formating to the text field

    txt.setTextFormat(fmt);

};

Hi catbert303,

My tekst is loaded from an xml file.So this line is not needed?
txt.text = "hello world";

This is the action I use to send my tekst through my dyn.textfield

Actions.subtitel = function(msg) {
trace(msg);
subtitel_txt.html = true;
subtitel_txt.htmlText = msg;
};

So subtitel_txt is the instancename of my dyn.textfield. how can I make a button change the alignment of the Dyn.textfield(subtitel_txt) from "left" to "right"?Help:s.

code:

---

btn.onPress = function() {

    fmt = new TextFormat();

    fmt.align = "right";

    subtitel_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);

};

would make the text contained in the field subtitel_txt right aligned when the button (instance name btn) was pressed
