FLASH: Re: Flash: centering text/graphics.

[Erich Miller]

Hi Marc,


    Yes, I do hit enter and Apply. But it's not 'remembering' what I enter in. I even kept the Inspector window

open to watch it while I was moving it around. I clicked CTRL+X to cut and CTRL+V to paste, and it doesn't keep

to the spot I want it to. Maybe it's just not possible and I was just assuming that it centered automatically?


   Oh well... thanks anyway! :-)

    Erich

Erik,

Not sure if this is your problem, but when changing values in the

inspector, you must hit Enter for the new values to register.
