Aligning text in a button?

I have a button (a simple rectangle) and I create a new layer and place text on the first keyframe while in Button Symbol Edit Mode. I now want to align the text in the center of the button. I drag over both the text and the button to select them both and than I open the Align Panel and I choose to align in the center. However, it is not aligning the text in the center and it is also moving the button to the left.
What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks.

Sorry for not getting this. I'm coming from Illustrator, and there I can select the background shape and text, select the shape as a key object and align the text both vertically and horizontally inside the shape.
I can not align the text vertically in the shape in FL. If I have both the shape and text selected, do I work with the align panel or the property inspector to do this?
Thank you for your patience.

Best way to align text with checkboxes/radio buttons?

Is there a better way to align text and checkboxes/radio
buttons than using
tables with vertically-centered cells?
Reason being, well... you've all tried putting text next to
those form
inputs, right? They don't naturally align.

Thanks, but nothing there really answers my question. :-(

How to align text at the top and bottom of a cell?

I'm making a periodic table and need help with aligning text at the top and bottom of a cell. I'll have a picture in the middle of the cell with text above and below the pic. Thank you in advance for any kind of suggestions you can give me.

It sounds as though you want to have 3 separate items inside of a single cell; text at the top of the cell, text at the bottom of the cell, and then a picture in the middle of the cell. I am no expert, but to my knowledge that is not possible (someone please correct me if I am wrong.) I also cannot figure out how to put a picture inside of a cell itself.
I do have a way to accomplish the end result so long as what you need is the final look and not a useable table in numbers.
Create 2-3 cells for each element. (The middle cell, unless you can put pictures in a cell and I don't know, would just be there for peace of mind, but would hold the picture if you can, I would just do two if the pictures are to be in front of the cell anyway.) The top cell align text to top on the Text tab of the inspector. The bottom cell, align text to bottom on the same tab. Then place the picture in the middle. Now, you have what you want except there is one or two lines dividing the cells. To get rid of this, either click the middle cell if you have one, or the top or bottom cell. Click on the Cell tab of the inspector. Select the bottom border and/or top border button and select "No Border" under border styles. To make this fast, select a full row at a time, or use command click to select all of the same type of rows (middle, top, or bottom) and change all cells at once.
I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Cannot Align text in cell

Greetings,
I am having issues when trying to format my spreadsheet. First of all, I have "Wrap Text in Cell" option turned on. So when I have text that can fit into the cell, its fine. But when I have long text in the cell, it wraps the text in the cell so it can fit inside, which I'm fine with.... but for some reason, it is not aligning it in the cell properly, so now part of the text it cut off. I try to center align the text, but no use. I hit the button for "Align text in the middle of the table cell", and still does not align the text so that its centered, not cut off. I have included an image of what im talking about. Help please?

Aligning text in JTextArea

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set the point at which text in displayed in a JTextArea using the setText() method. I am trying to align text in the centre of a JTextArea. Is there a way one can find the pixel at the centre of the textarea and then somehow set the cursor point to the centre and to align the string correspondingly?

After upgrading to 10.2.2.12 on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)

In popup step how do I get the "text on the button" in the report rather than button index?

(1)
How do I configure the POPUP step in "SEQ MAIN.seq" to execute the second
step (IS OUT PUT IS 20?) in "SEQ 1.seq" when "IS OUT PUT IS 20?" button
hit and execute the third step (IS OUT PUT IS 30?) in "SEQ 1.seq" when "IS
OUT PUT IS 30?" button hit.

The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
The easiest is to use the reporttext.
In a post expression, you can use something like
Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

How can I set the different boolean text in the button array?

I created the OK boolean button array. How can I change the boolean text of each button to be different at run-time? I changed one, but the others are changed also.

Select the control using the positioning tool and choose
Customize... from the Edit menu or choose it by popping up
on/right clicking on the control and selecting Advanced>>
Customize...
This will open the control up in a new window -- the control
editor window. This window allows for lots of additional
control modifications and allows for them to be saved into
typedefs to promote reuse and make things more consistent.
Once in the control editor, popup on the button and select
the menu item near the bottom Multiple Text Strings.
Close the editor window and the first dialog will ask if
you would like to save the change
d file. Choose No, and a
second dialog will ask if you would like to Replace the
Original Control. Choose Yes.
At this point the Button will support multiple text labels.
To edit the True string, make the Boolean True and use the
Labeling tool to edit the string that is visible. To edit
the False string, make the Boolean False and use the labeling
tool to edit that string too.

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

How to select different parts of the text? cmd button no longer does that...

After installing Maverics i can no longer propertly edit my work as I cannot mark different parts of text using cmd button. Shift works as before for highlighting all the text from starting point to selected point but I can no longer use cmd to highlight different areas of the text. Is this an OS bug? Or was the button for selecting different parts of the text changed? I tried everything...

It's just a small part of what makes Pages 5 so "stunning" (Apple's word). You think stripping out the nifty ability to mark non-contiguous passages of text was neat? Sure that was nice. But Apple has gotten rid of more, so much more. And for free!
Just wait till you put the product through its paces and you discover other nice features that are missing, such as (but not limited to):
- no linking of text boxes! Yes, that's right. Now a newsletter that had a "continued on page 6" or whatever will be broken by Pages 5. Stunning! (Even more stunning, Pages 5 will strip out all sorts of formatting from documents created with Pages 4.3 and it will do ao without warning and will save the document in a NEW unified file format so that it cannot be opened by Pages 4.3, thereby potentially losing users hours and hours of work. Stunning!
There's more!
- Pages 5 has no mail merge, no bookmarks, no images in headers/footers! Pages 4.3 has those features, but this stunning new release removes them.
- Pages 5 features vastly reduced and simplified set of templates (there used to be about 130 Apple-cupplied templates, now there are about 60).
- Page 5 also boasts NO RTF SUPPORT, so a paper your wrote with Apple's own TextEdit is not natively readable with Pages: Stunning!
- No detail was too small to omit in this stunning new release: the vertical ruler, so you can easily place text or an obejct at a certain place in a document: gone! Setting the default zoom: gone! Status bar reproting word count and pagecount (e.g., Page 4 of 48): Gone! View comments in the left side bar: Gone! Autocapitalization: Gone! Search & Replace: drastically simplified!
But here's the really good news: Pages 5 is just PERFECT for creating a one page-poster advertising a new concert by Apple employee Eddie Cue. What's more you can collaborate on it with someone else, even if they're using a PC. Now that's "stunning"!

How can I align text in Acrobat 8.1 Professional?

Okay this is quite silly, but seriously how can I align text in adobe acrobat? I could not find a way other than creating a new document file which allows me to use alignment options automatically (example below), however does not allow me that when I reopen the same file (alignment and text options just dissapear on the bars, funny). Help anyone please? =/
http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=examplemo2.jpg

Not that silly; but you ideally shouldn't be trying. Although there are some rudimentary (and sometimes unpredictable) editing tools in Acrobat, (I presume you are trying with the TouchUp Object tool as well as the TouchUp Text ?) much better to get it right in the source application and think of the pdf as what it basically is...a print.
For whatever reason, v5 could edit text positioning rather more easily than the later versions.

Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers

I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the alignment is wrong. The center footer/header should be center-aligned and the right header/footer should be right-aligned. Unfortunately, they are both left-aligned.
The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the page, as appropriate.
This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is something that I need to do to fix this problem.
This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added. Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.

Nope. The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
it.
The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
them to want to fix it.
I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
or and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch you should
check out PDFPen. It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
footers.
If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
and just use Preview or PDFPen.
