Hey and welcome rigormortis,

Sure, you can either do it via the textfield itself, zetting the text alignment, the html text will change accordingly. Or with an stylesheet in which you define 'text-align', and which you tie to the textfield :).

Well, changing the text alignment on the textfield is for sure. You can either do that in the property inspector of a textfield, or with an seperate textFormat object you tie to the textfield. That was an option I forgot to mention btw, like this:



format = new TextFormat();
.align= "left";
texifield.setTextFormat(format );



When you aply htmlText to the textfield (html enabled), it will be aligned accordingly :).
