Here's what I have so far but it's nto working as intended. Help would be appreciated.


I need to find the center of the document and then work from there to keep seperate dynamic text fields centered on the document after concantenating them along with a dot spaced between the fields. Here is what I have - any help woudl be appreciated. (Flash MX 2004)

var gotComp = String(DAT_Company).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotDiv = String(DAT_Division).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotAddr = String(DAT_Address).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotCity = String(DAT_City).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotState = String(DAT_State).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotZip = String(DAT_Zip).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotCnty = String(DAT_Country).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;

var CityStateZip = '';
var dotSpacing = 10;
var fldSpacing = 5;

// company/division
if(gotComp){
 DAT_Company_txt.text = DAT_Company;
}
if(gotDiv){
 DAT_Division_txt.text = DAT_Division;
}

if(gotAddr){
 DAT_Address_txt.text = DAT_Address;
}

// city, state, zip
CityStateZip = (gotCity)? DAT_City : '';
CityStateZip += (gotCity && gotState)? ', ' + DAT_State : DAT_State;
CityStateZip += (CityStateZip.length > 0)? ' ' + DAT_Zip : DAT_Zip;
CityStateZip += (CityStateZip.length > 0)? ' ' + DAT_Country : DAT_Country;
CityStateZip_txt.text = CityStateZip;

// sort fields.
var origA = new Array();
var newA = new Array();

origA[0] = DAT_Company_txt.text;
origA[1] = DAT_Division_txt.text;
origA[2] = DAT_Address_txt.text;
origA[3] = CityStateZip_txt.text;

// grab the valid values for the fields
for(i = 0; i < origA.length; i++){
 if(String(origA[i]).length > 0){
  newA.push(origA[i]);
 }
}

// assign values to the fields again
DAT_Company_txt.text = newA[0];
DAT_Division_txt.text = newA[1];
DAT_Address_txt.text = newA[2];
CityStateZip_txt.text = newA[3];

// Dot Positioning
currentX = DAT_Company_txt._x;

//if(DAT_Company_txt.text != '' && DAT_Division_txt.text != ''){
if(DAT_Company_txt.text != ''){
 textWidth = DAT_Company_txt.textWidth;
 dot1_mc._x = currentX + textWidth + dotSpacing;
 currentX = dot1_mc._x + fldSpacing;
}


// dot positioning
currentX = DAT_Address_txt._x;

if(DAT_Address_txt.text != '' && CityStateZip_txt.text != ''){
 textWidth = DAT_Address_txt.textWidth;
 dot2_mc._x = currentX + textWidth + dotSpacing;
 currentX = dot2_mc._x + fldSpacing;
 CityStateZip_txt._x = currentX;
}

Ok I've got it centering properly however now for some reason between first text field and the dot spacer, there is a white space that increases with the amount of text in the first text field. Any way to eliminate this?

Code to this point:

var gotComp = String(DAT_Company).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotDiv = String(DAT_Division).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotAddr = String(DAT_Address).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotCity = String(DAT_City).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotState = String(DAT_State).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotZip = String(DAT_Zip).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;
var gotCnty = String(DAT_Country).length > 0 ? 1 : 0;

var CityStateZip = '';
var dotSpacing = 10;
var fldSpacing = 5;
var lineWidth = 10;
var xMax = this.regPoints.xMax


// company/division
if(gotComp){
    DAT_Company_txt.text = DAT_Company;
}
if(gotDiv){
    DAT_Division_txt.text = DAT_Division;
}

if(gotAddr){
    DAT_Address_txt.text = DAT_Address;
}

// city, state, zip
CityStateZip = (gotCity)? DAT_City : '';
CityStateZip += (gotCity && gotState)? ', ' + DAT_State : DAT_State;
CityStateZip += (CityStateZip.length > 0)? ' ' + DAT_Zip : DAT_Zip;
CityStateZip += (CityStateZip.length > 0)? ' ' + DAT_Country : DAT_Country;
CityStateZip_txt.text = CityStateZip;

// sort fields.
var origA = new Array();
var newA = new Array();

origA[0] = DAT_Company_txt.text;
origA[1] = DAT_Division_txt.text;
origA[2] = DAT_Address_txt.text;
origA[3] = CityStateZip_txt.text;

// grab the valid values for the fields
for(i = 0; i < origA.length; i++)
{
    if(String(origA[i]).length > 0){
        newA.push(origA[i]);
    }
}

// assign values to the fields again
DAT_Company_txt.text = newA[0];
DAT_Division_txt.text = newA[1];
DAT_Address_txt.text = newA[2];
CityStateZip_txt.text = newA[3];

// Line starting position
lineWidth = 0; // Initialize to 0
lineWidth = DAT_Company_txt.textWidth;
lineWidth += DAT_Division_txt.textWidth;
lineWidth += (fldSpacing * 2);
lineWidth += (dotSpacing * 2);




if(DAT_Company_txt.text != '' && DAT_Division_txt.text != '')
{
    currentX = ((this._width - lineWidth) / 2);
    dat_Company_txt._x = currentX;
    textWidth = DAT_Company_txt.textWidth;
    dot1_mc._x = currentX + textWidth + dotSpacing;
    currentX = dot1_mc._x + fldSpacing;
    dat_division_txt._x = currentX + dotSpacing;
}

// New line starting position
currentX = 0; // re initialize to 0
lineWidth = 0; // re initialize to 0
lineWidth += DAT_Address_txt.textWidth;
lineWidth += CityStateZip_txt.textWidth;
lineWidth += (fldSpacing * 2);
lineWidth += (dotSpacing * 2);
currentX = ((this._width - lineWidth) / 3);

// Text Positioning
if(DAT_Address_txt.text != '' && CityStateZip_txt.text != '')
{
    DAT_Address_txt._x = currentX;
    textWidth = DAT_Address_txt.textWidth;
    dot2_mc._x = currentX + textWidth + dotSpacing;
    currentX = dot2_mc._x + fldSpacing;
    CityStateZip_txt._x = currentX;
