Dave S. Registered 26/09/2003 Points 924	12th February, 2007 at 11:24:19 - The user is prompted for a level name, eg; 'My level'. I then want the text (string) to be centralized along the width of the screen (X axis). n/a

Dave S. Registered 26/09/2003 Points 924	12th February, 2007 at 12:33:02 - Wong... I tried that but it doesn't move the type within the box. Only the box itself moves! n/a

(In Properties if you're in MMF2, or in the mad location of the menu bar's Text menu in 1.5.) http://www.davidn.co.nr - Games, music, living in America
