setStyle on a Label

Hi

     How do I make a text label appear in the center of an lable using AS3 code

 
     var _lsn:Label = new Label();
     _lsn.text = _”hellow”
     _lsn.setStyle("textAlign", "center");

 
 
the issue must be setStyle 

 
Scott

Your label needs a width. If you leave it at the default width, it resizes to
the length of the text. So you are centering it, you just can' tell. 

At least that is my guess, without knowing the layout of the Label component
within the parent.

sorry 

I didn't want to complain, it just feels like a Déjà-vu.  
Thanks for explanation ;-)

I just wonder why you've created this additional thread which seems to me to
describe the same issue which already was resolved here [1]

Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Olaf

the    _lsn.setStyle("textAlign", "center”);   only works if you have a width

so

>         _lsn.text = _”hellow”
            _lns.width=100;
>         _lsn.setStyle("textAlign", "center");


works as it should, I had  assumed the width would have been inherited fro the parent

Can you post a small test case?
