Vertically Aligning Text

dean

I'm making a widget with a FlxBar and FlxText to display the value centered on the FlxBar. How can I calculate the actual text character height so it centers vertically. I'm targeting all platforms.

I've thought of using this to get the values I need,

txtValue.textField.getCharBoundaries(0).height;
txtValue.textField.getCharBoundaries(0).top;

which seems like it might work, but isn't supported on all targets.

I'd like a solution for as many targets as possible.
Does anyone know how to do this?
