Text alignment

When positioning text there is easy way to set horizontal align like in this example:

_background = new Sprite();

_background.graphics.beginFill(112233,0.7);
_background.graphics.drawRect(0,0,200,20);

_itemLabel.width = _background.width;

rollOutStyle = _itemLabel.getTextFormat();
rollOutStyle.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;


another option is to switch last two lines by:


_itemLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;


But there is no such solution for vertical. We have to set it manually:


_itemLabel.y = _background.height * 0.5 - _itemLabel.textHeight * 0.5;
