Can I get the actual text width and height (pixels or rows would do) for fixed-size text box?

Hi - I’m using the new fixed size, wrapping text box to put text into speech bubbles onscreen.

It would be really useful for me to be able to center the text in the bubble to look neater.

Is there a way I can find out the actual size of my text within the box? The width and height give me the box size I define when I create the text object.

Thanks

I have the same question right now. Anyone? :slight_smile:

The width when I don’t set a width seems to be 2 pixels if I read it, but the actual width of the included text is much longer, so this doesn’t seem to be it… [import]uid: 10284 topic_id: 19060 reply_id: 96539[/import]
