I am having trouble finding a means to force justify a piece of text to left justification. It appears the default justification is center justified.
I am trying to update a number (such as a seconds readout). When it goes to 2 digits…it expands to the right and the left. I am only wanting the text to expand to the right.
Is there an elegant way to do this?

The answer, use…
setReferencePoint
i.e.
txtMyText:setReferencePoint(display.CenterLeftReferencePoint)

I wish I had known it was that simple. I wrote math to calculate the text position based on its width. Oh well, it doesn’t matter now. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 3857 reply_id: 19233[/import]
Actually I discovered also later on…that if the text is a number (integer) then the text center justifies by default…if it is a string…the text left justifies by default.
Thanks for the update though. [import]uid: 9492 topic_id: 3857 reply_id: 19249[/import]
