How would I centre a textarea in a canvas

[nikos101]

How would I centre a textarea in a canvas that would adjust according to the width of the canvas set in the design view?

<mx:Canvas label="Dynamic and interactive websites with PHP" width="100%" height="100%" >
            <mx:HBox  width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
                
                <mx:TextArea  height="100%" width="90%" />
            </mx:HBox>
            
        
        
        
        </mx:Canvas>

Well, if you wanted to do it in the Source view, you could use the code style you provide. To do it a bit more easily in Design view, just click on the appropriate checkboxes in the Properties panel under Standard View > Layout > Constraints. The code is generated for you.

Hi friend, I am using photoshop CS2 and I have made painting on canvas size of 260x120. And I have some text to put on it. How do I center my text? I started with a canvas and added an oil paint background. I thought it would be so simple but I could not. I need your tips. Can you help me? Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

if ur canvas have some parent component then there u can provide horizontalAlign="center"
like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" pageTitle="Login"
xmlns="*" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center" >

<mx:Canvas label="Dynamic and interactive websites with PHP" width="100%" height="100%" >
            <mx:HBox  width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
                
                <mx:TextArea  height="100%" width="90%" />
            </mx:HBox>    
                
        </mx:Canvas>
	
</mx:Application>

or one more thing u can do, u can provide padding (either left or right).
