Centering Objects?!

How do you center an object/text frame/picture in the center of the page? I don't mean just how to center the text inside a text frame, but actually center the text frame in the smack dab middle of the page without having to eyeball it? So say if I'm making a book cover, how do I make sure that title of the book is in the center of the page? Thanks.

Ken and Pat,
Note that I replaced the glaring all-caps + 3 exclamation point subject line.
As for a useful subject line, I'll leave that up to Pat: If you have a good subject line that you'd like me to substitute, please let me know. As Ken says, a lot of folks will just pass by generic cries of "HELP!!!" and not bother to answer your question.
Please see this for how to get the best responses to your concerns:

Use a CSS parent container width of about 900px and center it with margin-left and margin-right of auto.
#container {
width: 900px;
margin:0 auto;
border: 1px dotted red;
Use floats and margins to align inner elements (boxes) within the parent container.

Centering Object Vertically on Page when exporting to ePUB

I am preparing my first ePUB book using InDesign 5.5. I would like to center the graphic object on the title page, but I cannot figure out how to center an object vertically on a page. Although I can achieve the intended result on my screen in InDesign, when I export to ePUB, the object goes to the very top of the page and is no longer centered vertically. I have a few other pages (the dedication page, the copyright page, etc.), where I have text that I would like to have centered vertically on the page -- same problem. Please help. Thanks.

Irregardless of what you are doing in your InDesign document, an ePub export has to follow the very strict rules of HTML -- and not even the full set as we know it from (semi)formatted web pages, but a subset thereof. There is absolutely no guarantee you can export all you can do in InDesign to an ePub, in fact, there is only very little that survives this radical downsaving.
Besides, I'd have to check but I don't think Adobe intended InDesign to be the once-and-future ePub Layout Engine. Rather, its export is to facilitate cross-publishing, and helping you on your way creating the eBook of your (e)Dreams -- but you have to do the finalizing with some better targeted software.
But, basically, your premise -- that you can put something "at the bottom of an e-page" -- is wrong to begin with! A proper eBook can be reflowed, the font and its size can be changed, the reading window can be resized (on some devices) or rotated from landscape to portrait and back (on some devices). So there is no concept of a "page", and everything you pull off to "be" at the bottom might appear at the top for other views.

Viewstack and centering objects

Hi all,
I have a viewstack that is within a Canvas (I also had it
within a HBox). One of the objects within the viewstack is a panel.
For the life of me I can't get the panel to center.
I've tried horizontalCenter="0" on all the objects in the
hierarchy with no luck. I've also tried horizontalAlign="center" on
the panel. Nothing seems to center the panel.
Any help appreciated.
Jim

Use constraint based layout.

Scaling and centering objects.

Hi,
I have a center window and a background in my flash file. I am trying to get the center window to stay in the center of the web browser screen and get the background to expand and fill the entire web browser screen below center window layer. Sort of like this site http://smlsd.com.
I've currently converted the background to a movie clip and have this code.
background_mc.width = stage.stageWidth;
background_mc.height = stage.stageWidth;
However, the background is not resizing to fill the screen,
In publishing settings, I have dimensions to "Match Movie", Window mode in "Window", HTML alignment "Default", Scale set to "No Scale" (I don't want the center window to scale and loose proportion. It should have a set size.), and Flash alignment set to both "Center" and "Center".
I do not know how to get the center window in the center of the screen and have the background automatically resize to fill the whole screen. Can somebody show me some code which would solve this problem and explain it to me? Thanks.

this works:
you can view it here http://cybermountainwebservices.com/fullBrowser/FullBrowserAS3.html
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(35, 35);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(35, 35);
tile.draw(bmp);
shelter.x = stage.stageWidth /2;
shelter.y = stage.stageHeight /2;
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
shelter.x = stage.stageWidth /2;
shelter.y = stage.stageHeight /2;
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);
in this case the fill is with a 35pxl x 35pxl gif file but you could just as easily use a color the item called shelter is the name of the jpg in the center.
when you do this be sure in your publish settings to set dimension to percent 100 x 100 if you cont want a border or scrollbars around the outside be sure to set this css rule in your html body {margin:0; padding:0; overflow:auto}

Centering with SpringLayout?

does anyone know an easy way to do this and maintain the centered objects preferred size ? thanks

Well, more than one, but just one on this line. For example, say I want to center a JLabel or a JTextField that is all by itself on a line. I never thought of the case of multiple components (Duh!), but for now I only need the single component solution..but i am curious about multiple if you know that one too.! thanks

Center things in Spark ConstraintColumns?

I have a Flex 3.5 app that I'm trying to upgrade to 4.5 and Spark.
The app splits the width of your screen into two columns and centers objects on each side, one in the left half and one in the right. I'm at a loss as to how to duplicate this functionality using Spark components. Here's a basic example of the old 3.5 code that works fine. It basically creates two columns and horizontally and vertically centers items within them:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               backgroundColor="blue">
    <fx:Declarations>
        
    </fx:Declarations>
    <mx:Canvas id="mainContentArea"
             top="100" bottom="100"
             width="100%"
             backgroundColor="red">
        <mx:constraintColumns>
            <s:ConstraintColumn id="col1" width="{width/2}" />
            <s:ConstraintColumn id="col2" width="{width/2}" />
        </mx:constraintColumns>
        <mx:Canvas id="greenContainer"
                           backgroundColor="green"
                           width="400" height="300"
                           horizontalCenter="col1:0"
                           verticalCenter="0">
        </mx:Canvas>
        <mx:Canvas id="yellowContainer"
                   backgroundColor="yellow"
                   width="200" height="150"
                   horizontalCenter="col2:0"
                   verticalCenter="0">
        </mx:Canvas>
    </mx:Canvas>
</s:Application>
I took a shot using Spark components. The only container layout that seems to allow ConstraintColumns seems to be ConstraintLayout. Ironically though it doesn't allow you to horizontally center within those columns (horizontalCenter and verticalCenter only good in Basic and Absolute layouts). Any suggestions on making this happen?

                           horizontalCenter="col1:0"
                           verticalCenter="0">
        </s:BorderContainer>
        <s:BorderContainer id="yellowContainer"
                           backgroundColor="yellow"
                           width="200" height="150"

        </s:BorderContainer>

</s:Application>

I posted the example earlier in this thread.
The problem is the objects don't stay in one place or stay one size. They change sides and resize. Sticking them in groups seems to limit the ability to smoothly transition them to new positions and sizes.
Picture two objects, one left side and one right. The objects always need to be centered in their side, even as they change size or *switch* sides. They also need to automatically use all available space on their side while maintaining an aspect ratio (like 4:3, 16:9, etc). So if the user resizes the browser, aspect ratios must be maintained as the items resize.
You as the user have the option to do the following:
1. Have the objects switch sides (reverse)
2. Have the objects resize (left side gets big and right gets small, or the opposite, or have the two size equally)
3. Have one object disappear and the other take over full screen
4. Have the other object disappear and the first one take over full screen
These movements are animated with easing transitions. Centering them within a column is as simple as changing the horizontalCenter position with respect to the column. How would you do that with groups?

How can I set/lock my maximum witdh...

Hello,
Ik making a simpel website. But i want to lock the maximum width. So the site will not go larger then i want. And can i center the website in the brower?
Thx

You can do both of those things.
Max-width
For max-width on the Container object, the input is here:
That will restrict the width of the page to 1024px max. So it will narrow when less than 1024px, but only expand out to a max of 1024px.
Centered Objects
As for centering, we have a shortcut for that. You can apply it to both the Container (will center the site) and to individual objects (will center them within their parent). You can find that here:
Keep in mind this will only center horizontally.
Reflow does not yet have a good way to do vertical alignment. This is partially a historical issue with CSS, and partially that we don't want to introduce hacky solutions into Reflow, unless they are standards based. That said, we're getting closer with things like flexbox, which is being quickly adopted, and has solutions for vertical alignment. We don't yet have flexbox features in Reflow, unfortunately.

Align centers with one object stationary

My simple questions is how do you use Align Vertical/Horizontal Centers when you want align one object (say a label) to the center of another object without actually moving the first object?
Currently I just move the second object by hand and visually center it since the Align Centers button moves both objects.

That topic comes up occasionally. There is no "anchor point" object available in LV. It is something that I have wanted sometimes.
If this is important to you, post an idea on the LabVIEW Ideas Exchange Forum. If you can make a good case and many people agree with you, it might get implemented in a future version of LV.

Centering text/object indepndently

Hello. I am using a Pages template called Formal Invitation. I am trying to center both text and an object in each of the four squares of the page (the text is the same but each object has different dimensions). Each object/text needs to be centered with itself but NOT with the other three squares of the page. IT seems as if the alignment guides try to align up everything with each other, instead of just the object/text on its own quarter page. Is there any way to align text/object both horizontally and vertically on the QUARTER page, regardless of the stuff on the other parts of the page?
I hope I've explained this correctly - I'm new and I probably don't have the lingo quite right.
Thanks in advance.
JRS

Hi John,
Take a look at Help for: Changing How Alignment Guides Appear
Also: Creating New Alignment Guides
These give a pretty complete lesson on using the guides.
What I can't explain is how the shading representing the page is proportioned. I'd suggest relying on the rulers rather than the shaded areas.
I would add guides bisecting the quarter pages if I had your project, but that's a personal preference.

How do I center objects (photos and animations) so they stay centered with the other page elements?

How do I center objects (photos and animations) so they stay centered with the other page elements?

Geez .. Your class doesn't fulfill the javabean specifications. The properties should not be public.
It should rather look likepublic class TheAddress {
    // Properties ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    private String address1;
    private String address2;
    // Constructors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public TheAddress() {
        // Default constructor.
    public TheAddress(String address1, String address2) {
        // Full constructor.
        this.address1 = address1;
        this.address2 = address2;
    // Getters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public String getAddress1() {
        return address1;
    public String getAddress2() {
        return address2;
    // Setters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public void setAddress1(String address1) {
        this.address1 = address1;
    public void setAddress2(String address2) {
        this.address2 = address2;
}

Fash object not centered and still bold text.

I embeded a slide show using MX. I'ts centered and looks fine in Firefox, Safari and Opera. In Internet explorer it's slightly left of center. I was told the explanation below which I think I've adjusted the html to but now I'm not sure as it's still off centre.Any idea where I'm goning wrong please. I still can't figure out why I E appears to show text as bold instead of normal weight.
your <td> width and CU3ER width don't match. Problem is in your page html code, not CU3ER itself.
Link below

None of the experts here have any comments to my question? How about any Sun folks? Do you have any answer? Is this only happening to me or is someone else experiencing it too?
Thanks.

Centering the flex object in the browser

I want the flex application always stays at the center of the
browser. Can this be done by modifying the flex builder generated
html wrapper file? If so, how?

Just wrap the swf object in an html <div> or
<table> tag. Then center the div or the table. I use tables
to lay out my swfs even though I'd rather use divs. If I remember
correctly, divs didn't always align the thing properly. Here's a
quick example that you can tinker with:
<html><head><title>example</title></head>
<body
><table height="100%" width="100%">
<tr><td valign="middle" align="center">

</td></tr>
</table>
</body></html>
