flash - How to vertical align a TextField in AS3

Question

I′m trying to vertical align some text in a Monoline TextField in AS3. Not sure if this can be done with TextFormat, but I don′t think so.

I′ve looked for a solution but nothing really helpful. Any help is welcome.

Thanks!

You can't automatically vertical align text. You need to make it by your own.

Here's my working code:

public static function verticalAlignTextField(tf: TextField): void {
    tf.y += Math.round((tf.height - tf.textHeight) / 2);
}
