Keeping my text vertically centered
So I currently have this expression on my text:
idx = 0
var txt = text.sourceTextif (txt.indexOf(' ') > 0 ){
txt = txt.replace(/\s/g, '')
sp = text.sourceText
outStr = ""
n = sp.indexOf(" ")
while (idx < txt.length){
if (idx > 0) outStr += "\r"
outStr += txt.substr(idx,n)
idx += n
}outStr
}
It’s taking the sentence I enter and putting every new word on a new line.What I need to add now is something to make sure the text stays vertically centered with every new line added. I’ve tried doing something like this
var a = 0;
var b = 2.9285;
transform.anchorPoint = [a,b];
but that only works when it is placed in the specific anchor point expression rather than the one on the source text.Any questions or help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Nathan. -

In your case you could offset the Y position of the text layer (in the negative direction) by multiplying the line height by (number of lines minus 1)/2. You can get the number of lines by splitting the original text to an array at each space and getting the length of the resulting array.

Perfect, got it working, cheers!
Had to divide by 4 because of my use case but this works for mevalue-[0,this.sourceRectAtTime(time).height/4]
