Fld text vertical alignment - fld animation

[Phil Davis]

Hi Bob -

See if this slightly modified version of your script gives you what you 
want:

on mouseEnter
   set the defaultCursor to hand
   put the loc of the target into tLoc
   repeat with i = 1 to 4
     lock screen
     set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target + 1)
     set the height of the target to the formattedHeight of the target
     set the loc of the target to tLoc
     unlock screen
     wait for .02 seconds
   end repeat
   put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   put the loc of the target into tLoc
   repeat with i = 1 to 4
     lock screen
     set the textSize of target to (the textSize of target - 1)
     set the height of the target to the formattedHeight of the target
     set the loc of the target to tLoc
     unlock screen
     wait for .02 seconds
   end repeat
   set the textSize of target to the ATT_defaultSize of target
   set the defaultCursor to arrow
   put flushEvents("all") into temp
end mouseLeave

Best -

The problem is that the text does not stay vertically aligned in the fld, so the appearance is the text grows down rather than grows centered.
